In 2026, MU France is celebrating 45 Years of team-based impact and collective success.
During this time, we have been privileged to partner with thousands of SMEs and large corporations, tackling their most strategic challenges in recruitment and leadership.
Our story began 45 years ago, when Håkan Skoglund arrived from Sweden, fueled by a sharp vision and a commitment to build a dedicated and diverse team in France. Since then, we have established a formidable reputation among our clients and have consistently delivered exceptional results, supporting our dear clients in getting better performance.
We are proud to share more about our long-standing cooperation with Volvo Trucks:
Volvo Trucks is part of the VOLVO Swedish group, which has several Business Units, including Construction Equipment, Penta, Bus, and Renault Trucks. With PREMIUM positioning, Volvo Trucks is a market leader, driving innovation in the electric market, thus promoting a greener approach to freight transport and mobility beyond passenger transport. Pragmatically and in terms of market share, Volvo Trucks is currently number 1 in Europe and number 2 in France for B2B industrial transport.
By 2030, Volvo Trucks has three ambitions:
Volvo Trucks France is a major commercial distribution subsidiary (new and used vehicles) and services. With over 1,000 employees in its own network and 2,000 including the private network, it is distinguished by an open, entrepreneurial culture focused on results and customer satisfaction, while ensuring the well-being of its employees. Its motto, "Driving progress for a better future," emphasises the importance of partnering with stakeholders who share this vision. Its main challenge is to transform this traditionally structured industry towards greater electromobility, significantly impacting historical teams, but also presenting a long path for its customers (regulatory constraints, strong entrenchment, and reference to thermal engines). The teams at Volvo Trucks actively participate in transforming clients’ business models (providing infrastructure, distribution models – sales, leasing). Everything needs to be rethought and anchored in a new model. Teams must demonstrate creativity to deconstruct beliefs and initiate new practices and therefore new services. In this journey, MU has been an asset.
“Our partnership with MU has been established for many years. We share common values of Swedish origin. In the early 2000s, we sought a partner capable of supporting the development of our managers and conducting leadership assessments. Very satisfied with the services offered by MU, we have also collaborated in acquisitions and development in India, China, and Japan, due to effective international coordination and solid expertise in these various countries. MU has played a key role in selecting suitable candidates for our new organizations. For several years, we have relied on MU’s recruitment services to fill our strategic positions.
We particularly appreciate the pragmatic and methodical approach combined with a keen listening and understanding of our context, as well as the strong involvement of all stakeholders from the start of the mission to integrate the challenges and specific requirements of our organization, both short and long term. We equally value the quality and seriousness in the follow-up of missions, which demonstrate the strong commitment of the MU teams to support our strategic objectives. Our common culture with the MU firm is a real asset, and recently we have appreciated how the MU France teams understand the very essence of our way of acting and reacting.
When we need rare profiles, we do not hesitate to partner with our PREMIUM partner MU for recruitment and selection.”
