PLASTICS PROCESSING IN LORRAINE a complete sector and considerable local outlets
Having contributed to the latest developments in the processing of plastics, Lorraine has managed to set up a full industrial network mastering a full range of innovative plastics processes oriented towards equipment for the motor, building and packaging industries: the designing and manufacturing of composites, extrusion, injection, compression, calendering, thermoforming, rotational moulding, etc.From the production of raw materials (ATOFINA, BP AMOCO, SOLVAY, INEOS) right through to their use (REHAU, MEA, FAURECIA, DELPHI, TONTARELLI, DYNAMIT NOBEL, CEBAL, JOHNSON CONTROL, ERGOM, NESTLE WATERS, EISENMANN, PIXLEY RICHARDS etc.), the development of this sector is having a growing impact on the region's economy.
