Visits to our plant are increasing… but each group is different!

On Tuesday, May 5, we had the pleasure of welcoming the Association for the Heritage and History of Industry in Dauphiné (APHID), which promotes industry in the Dauphiné region, with a special extension to Savoie for this visit.

Today, our site is the last mill in France producing virgin fiber-based paperboard. As such, it represents a unique industrial heritage that we are proud to preserve and share with as many people as possible.

Among the visitors, some were already familiar with our plant, having worked on-site as contractors or during technical shutdowns for new equipment installations. This visit offered them a fresh perspective on the site, along with the opportunity to see how it has evolved over the years.

Many thanks to Quentin Haezebrouck, our Production Director, for guiding our visitors.

On Wednesday, April 29, La Rochette Cartonboard took part in the “Jeunes d’Avenirs” job fair in Villeurbanne.

Alongside OPCO 2i, under the “Avec l’Industrie®” banner, we mainly engaged with students from the Lyon area looking for apprenticeships, as well as job seekers interested in discovering careers and pathways in the industry.

It was an opportunity for us to:
✔️ Introduce the paper and board industry and its professions
✔️ Present our know-how and our history
✔️ Share our job opportunities in the Lyon area

These meetings are essential today to spark curiosity and show that the paper and board industry offers a wide range of meaningful and future-oriented careers.

Many thanks to OPCO 2i for the welcome – and to Industrie Papier Carton.
