Retrospective – Participation in the La Rochette Christmas market

🎅 ✨Saturday December the 9th, we attended La Rochette’s Christmas Market to celebrate our anniversary and present the creative art educational project created by pupils from La Neuve primary school.

Over 70 children participated to origami and drawing workshops on the theme of animals, using paper and cartonboard. 🐶 🐷 🐱
For the adults, we displayed part of our photo exhibition and showed our film retracing our 150-year history! 🎥

The day was marked by exchanges and smiles shared with the residents of La Rochette.
It was a sharing and creativity moment, just as we like to organise, to bring our 150th anniversary celebrations to a close. 🎉

📖 The final stretch now: the launch of the book ” A history at the service of cartonboard ” 🔜 stay connected!

💬 “A sustainable and recyclable material, cardboard was part of La Neuve primary school’s educational project for the 150th anniversary of the cardboard factory. From theory to practice, the CM2 classes were welcomed to the La Rochette Cartonboard site. […] The educational project also involved the CM1 and CE1-CE2 classes in creative arts workshops using cardboard.”

Thanks to Brigitte Mauraz, Le Dauphiné Libéré, for this article dedicated to the children’s visit on 8 December, the educational project developed in collaboration with the school, and our participation in the Christmas market! 🎅

Installation of a Turbo Blower

As part of our strategy to reduce our CO2 emissions by 30% by 2023, we have been working with Engie Solution France to install a Turbo Blower to create the vacuum on our Machine 2.

This Turbo Blower, owned and operated by ENGIE Solutions France, offers considerable energy savings, using motor instead of 8! We will also recover the calories generated to heat the water in our boiler.

💡 🏗️ A hoisting operation was required to transport the chassis fitted with the engine, gearbox and turbine. A 450-tonne crane was used to lift 12 tonnes to a span of 60 metres: an impressive job!

🌍 Once again, at La Rochette Cartonboard, we’re innovating in the service of both cardboard and the environment.

Who says it’s easy to manufacture folding box board ?

General contractor: ENGIE Solutions France
Crane operator: Mediaco
