Our commitments

Manufacturing Research and development Our supply chain

Manufacturing

  • We operate in a regulated global market in many countries. Thus, we must manage requirements that may vary greatly between countries or regions.
  • The control of our production processes (internal and external)
    allows us to guarantee our customers quality products across the world.

In-house production

Environmental requirements are a major concern for all our products, whether it is the search for organic or recycled materials that meet our quality requirements, or the inclusion of the environmental footprint in the product specifications from the very outset of a project.

Our supply chain

From forecasting to delivery, an integrated end-to-end market process.

Our supply chain organisation is unique and structured around 5 major areas. An integrated model based on the group’s sales forecasting, product cycle planning, supplier and production plant planning and capacity management, and warehouse and distribution operator efficiency.

Its management is centralised in France and is based on a rigorous structuring of processes and controls. It also relies on 4 consolidation logistics platforms to supply to our subsidiaries and customers around the world. Two of these platforms are located in Asia (China and India) and two in Europe (France and Poland). Our IT system, harmonised on each of the platforms, is based on an expert demand management system. It thus provides real-time information on stock levels, incoming and outgoing flows. Our ambition is to further integrate our supply chain with blockchain technology.

This organisation allows us to serve customers in all countries according to the most advantageous logistic scheme for them, guaranteeing the availability of quality products across our entire range of platforms and warehouses.
