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

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.

Special open day for employees’ families

On Saturday 16 September, we were delighted to organise a special open day for the families of our employees.

130 people were able to go behind the scenes of the manufacture of our virgin fibre-based cardboard, which is sustainable and recyclable by nature. From the wood yard to the dispatch of our board in reels or pallets, via our biomass boiler, our machines and our quality laboratory, visitors were able to observe our French know-how and our strong commitment to sustainable development.

It was also a unique opportunity to spend some time together and share a convivial moment.

Factory visit by former employees!

On Wednesday 14 June, we were delighted to welcome 10 former employees for a factory tour.

The day was like stepping back in time, as some of them had not been back on our premises for over 30 years!

It was a real moment of sharing, with fascinating discussions, memories, anecdotes and inter-generational exchanges.

The reunion was an opportunity to strengthen ties between former colleagues, celebrate our successes and remember that our company has been going strong for 150 years!

The next visit for our former employees is scheduled for 8 September! 🗓️
