🔵⚪🔴 Did you know? Our coating sauce

🔵⚪🔴 Did you know?

In July, you discovered the manufacture of our chemical paste, essential to the structure of our cartonboard. Today, we’re showing you how our coating sauce is made! 🏭

The coating sauce, produced in our kitchens, adds whiteness and printability properties to our cartonboard. The deposit of this sauce is directly integrated into the machine.

Two layers are required:
• A pre-coat to smooth and opacify the substrate
• A top coat for perfect whiteness and a beautiful surface finish.

Visit from representatives of public and private forests

The future of the forest is crucial, which is why sustainable and responsible forest management is one of our priorities. We are committed to promoting practices that respect the environment, guaranteeing the sustainability of forest resources for future generations and ensuring that our virgin fibre-based board is produced in a sustainable, responsible way that is always Made In France. 🌍🌲

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming representatives from the public forest (ONF, COFOR) and private forest (Coforet), as well as representatives from FSC France. Local players in the forestry and wood industry, such as Scierie de Savoie Lapierre et Martin, Scierie Eymard and ForTea, were also present.

During the day, we organised a meeting on the development of forest certification in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, in response to growing demand from our customers. There was also a tour of the factory. 🏭

Thank you all for your participation!

Did you know? 🔵 ⚪ 🔴 The composition of our board

Producing cardboard is a complex process that requires specific know-how and expertise. 🏭💡

This month we start with the composition of our board, made up of different layers: bleached and unbleached mechanical pulp, chemical pulp and a specific coating depending on the product and its use. 📦🔍

All these elements are manufactured in our different workshops in La Rochette, as we are an integrated factory.

Collaboration with the Fibr’Etik association

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of our company, in 2023 we installed covers on the front of our administration building.

♻️ To give them a second life, we worked with the Fibr’Ethik association in Saint-Pierre-d’Albiny. Rather than incinerating them, Fibr’Ethik transformed our covers into tote bags in its eco-leather workshop. These unique creations are made by employees who live in the Coeur de Savoie area, who are far from employment and are retraining to regain their confidence and access the job market.

🎁 These tote bags are destined to become gifts for our employees and customers at events or physical meetings.

🇫🇷 We are proud to have created this social and solidarity-based project, 100% Made in France!

Thank you to Fibr’Etick for this collaboration. Find out more about their work here 👉 https://r-fibrethik.fr/
