To round off our 150th anniversary year in style, we’ll be at the La Rochette Christmas market on Saturday 9 December, from 10am to 6pm with a stand in collaboration with La Neuve primary school, in front of the commemorative monument. 🎅 🌟

📅 On the programme, discover origami animations and drawings for children, highlighting our cartonboard. A selection of images from the photo exhibition held earlier in April/May will also be on show, along with the film about our 150th anniversary and a presentation of the art project carried out in partnership with the school.

They’re talking about us in the press – Le Dauphiné Libéré

💬 “The cedar sculpture marks 150 years and the unbreakable links between the town and the cardboard mills. A fusion between the company and the town” @Christophe Lloret Linares in Le Dauphiné Libéré, October 2023.

Thanks to Brigitte Mauraz of Le Dauphiné Libéré for this article on the inauguration of Le Cèdre, symbolising our territorial roots and our desire to celebrate France’s industrial heritage.

Opening of Le Cèdre on Saturday 14 October

On Saturday 14 October, together with the Mayor of Valgelon La Rochette, David Ates, Deputy Mayor Jacky Donjon and our Managing Director, Christophe Lloret Linares, we had the pleasure of inaugurating the Cedar sculpture in the Place Albert-Rey.

Two sculptors, Frédéric Nobili and Jean Bergeron, worked on this project, bringing to life the raw wood that forms the structure of the work and symbolises the basic raw material of our cardboard. They also sculpted reels and sheets of cardboard, our finished product. The sculpture ends with the Château de La Rochette overlooking the town.

This work symbolises the ties that have united our company and the town for 150 years. It is a testament to our local roots and our commitment, as a corporate citizen, to enhancing the attractiveness of the Commune, while at the same time highlighting our French expertise and our history.

The history of the factory is inseparable from that of Valgelon-La Rochette. We are therefore keen to create opportunities for the general public to share in celebrating France’s industrial heritage.
