SOPREMA INVESTS 50 MILLION EUROS IN NEW PRODUCTION PLANTS IN FRANCE

At SOPREMA, we put great stock in R&D. We help increase the sustainability of your building projects by offering future-proof products and solutions and by providing excellent service, while also creating the necessary production sites to meet future demands. Hence, we will be investing 50 million euros in two additional manufacturing plants in France, which will be operational by 2023. PUR INSULATION AND NATURAL INSULATION The first site (20.000 m2) will focus on PUR insulation: a synthetic, polyurethane-based insulation material with low lambda values and high compressive strength. The second site is set to increase the production of our natural insulation materials, such as the well-known PAVATEX wood fibre insulation. SUSTAINABLE CHOICES Both production sites will be built in Nîmes, in the south of France. Pierre-Etienne Bindschedler, CEO of SOPREMA, stresses that “Nîmes is located at an important geographical location” and is not far from the SOPREMA plant in Avignon.1 Indeed, we always try to produce locally to reduce our carbon footprint to an absolute minimum. And speaking of sustainability: our natural insulation manufacturing facility will experiment with reusing waste from the Saint-Gilles rice fields (situated about 12 miles from the SOPREMA production site) to develop a new insulation material. Our manufacturing plants are clearly good news for the environment. SOPREMA REMAINS AT YOUR SERVICE It goes without saying that the launching of our two new plants in France will not impact our day-to-day operations at all. SOPREMA remains at your service, providing the premium roofing and insulation products and the personalised services that you are used to.
