Philippe and Nathalie Draux honoured as Officers of the Walloon Merit

Philippe Draux and Nathalie Draux were awarded the Walloon Government's decoration of Officer of the Walloon Merit on Saturday morning. This was in recognition of their efforts in bringing honour to Wallonia and contributing to its influence.

The Walloon Merit decorations are presented each year during the Fêtes de Wallonie celebrations. The ceremony takes place at the Elysette, the seat of the Walloon Presidency, to honour those whose remarkable actions span diverse fields such as socio-economic development, research, sport and culture.
Philippe Draux, CEO and founder of Quality Assistance, leads our company alongside his daughter Nathalie Draux, Chief Operating Officer. We operate in the innovative pharmaceutical sector.

Founded in 1982 and based in Thuin since 1992, we have earned international recognition for our expertise in analytical sciences dedicated to developing new medicines over the last 40 years. We also actively work to ensure access to these medicines for all. Our company holds a unique position in the market thanks to having all our laboratories on a single site.

We have just begun a fifth phase of expansion. This project will expand our team to 350 people and enhance training and the development of technical and interpersonal skills, as well as improving the well-being of our employees.

By elevating Mr Philippe Draux and Ms Nathalie Draux to the rank of Officer of the Order of Merit of the Walloon Region, the government is honouring our company's commitment to quality assurance, our leadership, and our entire team.
