On April 28, World Day for Safety and Health at Work, the Somater Group reaffirms its commitment to a shared safety culture and invites every employee to take responsibility for their own safety and that of others.

In our dedicated video, “Safety Day 2025”, discover how we place prevention at the heart of our daily lives through our key safety pillars: proper use of tools and machinery, handling of hazardous products, and wearing PPE. Every employee is a key player in the safety culture we are building together.

Because a safer working environment starts with simple, collective actions! Let’s continue to move forward together, safely.

Somater is proud to announce the publication of its 2024 CSR report, illustrating a year marked by significant progress in eco-design, the transition to recycled or alternative materials, and industrial modernization.

More than ever, social responsibility is at the heart of our strategy, with sustained investment in more energy-efficient technologies and initiatives promoting engagement and training.

To mark International Women’s Rights Day, Somater is highlighting the women who drive the group forward on a daily basis. This year, the teams at Plastuni Normandie have produced a video giving a voice to female employees in positions of responsibility at the site.

Through these inspiring testimonials, we discover their commitment, their expertise and the way in which they actively contribute to the company’s performance and success.

At Somater, we are convinced that diversity is a driving force for success. By valuing female talent and promoting equal opportunities, we continue to build an inclusive environment where everyone can flourish and grow.

We are proud to announce that the Biotherm 2.0 Roll-On has won an award at the PCD Innovation Awards 2025 in the personal care & hair care category!
Somater worked with L’Oréal and the Biotherm brand to renovate this packaging and produce it from 100% PCR materials, 26% lighter than the previous version.

This launch reaffirms Somater’s commitment to its customers to develop more sustainable and responsible packaging!

Somater is delighted to announce that it will be taking part in Paris Packaging Week 2025 on 28 and 29 January.

Our team is looking forward to welcoming you and presenting our responsible solutions.

These advances, which combine eco-design and recyclability with the integration of new materials, have been created to meet the many challenges of sustainable development in packaging.

In this ‘semaine de l’industrie’, it’s essential to stress the need to strengthen the link between the younger generation and industry, a key driver of our economy, competitiveness and prosperity.

Somater, a European player in the packaging sector, regularly visits schools and training organizations to introduce young people to our activities, skills and know-how. In this way, we raise young people’s awareness of the opportunities that a fast-changing sector can offer them.

We are proud of the contribution made by our Theix plant to the Lycée Berthelot in Questembert, to whom we entrusted injection molds and different types of polymers to help train students.

Long live industry, and happy ‘Semaine de l’industrie’ to all!

After several consecutive years, the European MORE (MObilisés pour REcycler) label has once again been awarded to Somater plants in recognition of their ongoing efforts to promote the circular economy.

This recognition, awarded by Polyvia and European Plastics Converters (EuPC), highlights the beneficial effect of our CSR policy and our commitment to integrating recycled raw materials into our production processes.

It is also a way of promoting the image of an industry that cares about sustainable development and is resolutely responsible. The renewal of this award in 2024 reinforces our objective of reducing the virgin raw materials content of our product portfolio by 50% by 2025, compared with 2020.

As part of the annual ‘Pink October’ campaign, numerous actions and festivities are organised throughout France to raise awareness of breast cancer screening and support research.

This year, two of the Group’s sites distinguished themselves by taking part in local events in support of this noble and just cause. We salute the ANL Cahors and Somater Andeville teams for their commitment!

The battle against breast cancer is one that is particularly close to our hearts. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to our employees, who have actively contributed to funding research into cancer treatment and to raising awareness among our ecosystems of the importance of screening.

The Somater site at Marolles-Lès-Saint-Calais is being promoted as part of the “J’entreprends en VBA” communications campaign organized this month by the Communauté de Communes des Vallées de la Braye et de l’Anille (CCVBA).

Whether through ads in the local magazine, posters on buses, posts on social networks or video reports, the campaign features entrepreneurs and managers who inspire success.

In this respect, Stéphanie Segura, the site’s Quality Director, is a strong ambassador for Somater. She embodies the dynamism of local managers who are actively involved in the region’s industrial development.

In the video available here, Stéphanie explains Somater’s business and its challenges. She also talks about her personal story and how she was able to develop her skills to reach her current position. Her journey illustrates the company’s commitment to nurturing talent and promoting professional fulfillment.

Many thanks to Stéphanie for her commitment and to the CCVBA for this excellent initiative.

In an interview with PME Radio.TV, Félix Hubin, Managing Director of the SOMATER Group, looks back at the company’s history and shares his vision for the future with Pauline Riglet-Brucy.

  • The Group’s future products and packaging solutions;
  • Emerging trends in the sector, driven by eco-design;
  • The development model of a French family-owned industrial group;
