About La Rochette Cartonboard SAS

Welcome to La Rochette

Founded in 1873 La Rochette Cartonboard SAS is a leading manufacturer of cardboard packaging products (FBB) used for the pharmaceutical, food and other sectors in which quality cardboard is required.

From our production facility in Valgelon – La Rochette / France we serve a well-diversified customer base. As an independent company flexibility, quality and a good customer service are most important to us.

Our main production input is mechanical pulp, wood chips, a side product from local saw mills. With short ways of transportation and a lower usage of adaptives than other paper producers our products have a low environmental impact. A biomass boiler is further supporting a sustainable production.

Situated in a traditional area of papermakers at the foot of the mountains, surrounded by forests and fresh water rivers we strive for the best quality in every Gramm of our paper.

We are very proud of our employees. Most of them have been working with us since the beginning of their professional career and some even have parents or grandparents who worked at the La Rochette papermill before them.

Conscious about our responsibility for more than 300 families in the area, it is our dedicated employees which are one of our most important assets.
