Lou Liangjun, a native of Dongyang, Jinhua, East China's Zhejiang province, has been making significant strides in the French construction industry, which has helped him secure projects for the development of the Athletes Village for the ongoing Paris Olympics.
Lou, the executive president of the Jinhua Chamber of Commerce in France, operates a construction company, which stands as the sole Chinese-owned construction enterprise directly involved in the construction of the Athletes Village of the Paris Olympics.
Over the past three years, Lou's company has not only undertaken the Athletes Village project but also secured contracts for projects like the renovation of the Grand Palais in Paris and the construction of water polo and swimming venues for the Paris Olympics.
Hailing from Dongyang, the "hometown of architecture", Lou's expertise in waterproofing, outdoor landscaping, and metal wing sub-projects has been instrumental in shaping the Athletes Village's structures.
Driven by a desire to expand his horizons and contribute further to the community, Lou founded France Dongyang Construction Company in 2022, emphasizing professionalism and excellence in every endeavor.
His company, with a workforce of over 40 individuals, has established long-term collaborations with subcontractors from various countries, with a third of employees being of Chinese descent and primarily engaged in managerial roles.
Lou's journey stands as a testament to the spirit of perseverance and excellence, embodying the values of his hometown while championing its legacy on a global stage.
