He wishes to take advantage of the strategic reflection initiated by the FIM and its 24 unions to define a professional mechanical organization of the future capable of supporting companies in their transformation and development. "I want our collective action to bring more added value to member companies and thus contribute to the development of their activity and to their strengthening in the world," he indicates.

Convinced that the mechanical industries have a major role to play in the transformation of the entire industry and therefore of the country's economy, Henri Morel wants to dedicate his mandate to excellence. “To meet the major challenges of the 21st century, the metal trades must benefit from a favorable economic, fiscal and legal framework.
