    Pioneer in the innovation !

    A new production site in Sermaises (45300) dedicated to the alliaceous market was created.

    A unique facility in France identified as a “factory of the future” which guarantees consistent quality throughout the year by internal vision (detection of bulbs with defects).

    A capacity to couple the external aspect of the bulb, its shape, its diameter, to optimize the quality of the product to be packaged.

    Traceability guaranteed throughout the process by the factory supervisor (computerized management of information flows and stocks).
