Integrated production, a guarantee of quality
Lacroix Packaging has chosen to keep the entire production chain for its products in-house in order to ensure the highest quality and short lead times. The company has its own poplar plantations, which are processed in its plants. Its three design offices develop the equipment needed to produce packaging for its customers, so the moulds, automated machines and tools are manufactured in its own factories. All the production sites are managed from a remote centre in France and Lacroix Packaging has its own printing facilities.
Proximity to customers worldwide
The Lacroix group operates 28 sites — factories and printing facilities — located in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. It has chosen a strategy of being geographically close to its markets and customers.
