Our background Back in 1999, Corentin Thiercelin, an experienced engineer, noticed the lack of useful tools to help decision-makers in their search for industrial equipment and components. Using his intuition, Corentin Thiercelin launched DirectIndustry in 2000, the group’s first website, which brings together industry professionals from around the world in a single location. It was an instant success—millions of visitors rapidly adopted DirectIndustry. Since then, we have extended the concept into other sectors.

Despite rapid, significant growth, we strive to maintain our original company culture. We combine the dynamics of a start-up with the solidity of an expanding company. In order to foster a motivating environment for all, we place our team members at the heart of our success. The absence of a dress code and lack of a rigid hierarchy A friendly, open-plan work space facilitating communication and a multicultural ambiance make VirtualExpo a Marseille company unlike others…and where it’s pleasant to work A work environment designed with the well-being of employees in mind The combination of elements allows each person to carve out a personal space: green walls, an atrium lunch area dotted with olive trees, an exercise room perched on a furnished terrace with a panoramic view, football and ping pong tables for relaxation and big poufs for a siesta. An office that feels a bit like home: Be yourself: flip-flops and shorts are welcome! An exercise room to unwind and professional massages for relaxation, all just steps away! . The varied flavors of cleverly improvised lunches carry you to different climes. Commuting facilitated by a company policy that encourages carpooling. A partnership with a daycare center network to take charge of the little ones! A 4.5-day workweek to give people time to recharge their batteries Headquarters Virtual Expo/ Virtual Expo/ Virtual Expo/ Virtual Expo/ A socially Engaged Company The Group has chosen to favor four areas of action. Each team member can make a concrete, voluntary contribution: The Environment In partnership with the Surfrider Foundation, we carry out regular beach cleanups around Marseille. Employment In partnership with Solidarité Nouvelle face au chômage (New Solidarity Against Unemployment), about twenty employees have volunteered to work one-on-one with job-seekers to help them find employment. Health In partnership with the Etablissement Français du Sang (French Bloodbank), there are regular donation days to fight the significant shortage of blood in our beautiful region! Solidarity Employees donate clothing, toys and restaurant coupons, granting a second life to unneeded objects that just take up space at home, and aiding those in need.
