Somater is launching a new range of laminated tubes containing 25% and 30% PCR recycled material at PLASTUNI-LISSES.
This achievement is part of a strong eco-design approach:
A turnkey solution to support our customers in regulatory compliance and meeting their CSR commitments.
We had the honor of welcoming at our Marolles site the Sub-Prefect of Sarthe, the Mayor of Marolles-lès-Saint-Calais, the President of the Community of Communes of the Braye and Anille Valleys, and the Economic Development Officer.
This visit provided an opportunity for constructive dialogue between Somater, government representatives, and elected officials. We were able to share our realities on the ground:
Our discussions were particularly fruitful on economic and regional issues: taxation, competitiveness, employment, CSR, and local development.
At Somater, we are convinced that our performance goes hand in hand with strong regional roots. So, thank you to the government representatives and elected officials for the quality of our discussions and the ideas put forward for the development of the borough.
We will be attending this must-see event for cosmetic packaging and look forward to seeing you there!
We can’t wait to discuss your packaging projects, innovation, industrial performance, and increasingly responsible solutions with you.
See you in Paris on February 5 and 6 at our booth S94!
At Pharmapack Paris 2026, the Somater teams will be on hand to discuss your pharmaceutical packaging challenges: industrial performance, quality, innovation, and eco-design.
This is a great opportunity to talk about your current and future projects, discover our solutions, and share our vision of responsible, sustainable, and high-performance packaging.
Come and meet us at booth 4C82 – Paris Expo Porte de Versailles – Hall 4!
At the start of 2026, the health and safety of our employees remain a priority for SOMATER.
As part of its continuous improvement process, SOMATER has rolled out end-of-line packaging automation solutions at some of its sites in recent months: forming and closing cartons, inserting bags, and automatic palletizing.
Beyond industrial efficiency gains, this equipment primarily reduces repetitive handling and prevents musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), thereby improving the working conditions of our teams in the long term.
We are proud to announce that our group has once again confirmed its performance and management of its carbon impact, with a CDP Climate Change B rating for the third consecutive year.
This recognition is fully in line with our CSR approach and our decarbonization trajectory, which we implement on a daily basis in our factories and in close partnership with our customers.
This new rating encourages us to continue and intensify our actions to contribute to a more responsible and low-carbon industry.
Thank you to all our teams and partners for supporting us in this commitment!
At Somater, we firmly believe that the company’s greatest strength lies in the people who work there and are committed to it every day. That’s why we choose to put safety at the heart of our priorities.
For several months now, we have been offering all our employees a training program designed specifically for them: learning how to better identify and prevent risks, protect themselves, and look out for one another. Safety is everyone’s business!
Vehicle traffic, cybersecurity, fire safety, handling… each module combines videos, discussions, and interactive quizzes to make learning lively and useful on a daily basis.
Beyond rules and procedures, the main goal is to foster a collective spirit, where everyone plays a role in ensuring the safety of all.
Because taking care of safety means, above all, taking care of people.
At Somater, we care!
Last week, Plastuni Normandie had the pleasure of welcoming students from Jean Cocteau Middle School in Offranville, as well as a group participating in a reintegration program supported by the Estran from Dieppe.
The aim was to introduce them to our professions, our technologies, and our expertise, and to show them that plastics processing is an innovative sector.
On the agenda:
This initiative is a great opportunity to raise awareness among young people and adults undergoing retraining about industrial professions, to share our passion for the field and, why not, to inspire them and spark new vocations!
Once again this year, alongside the purchasing teams at NAOS (Bioderma – Institut Esthederm – Etat Pur), Somater had the opportunity to share a day of collective CSR action promoting partnership, the environment, and responsible industry.
Together, we had the chance to discover the Crau natural area and visit the Eranova factory, which produces plastic from seaweed starch, near Marseille.
This initiative is part of the evolution of our industry: opening up to innovative solutions, reducing environmental impact, and supporting the transition to more carbon-neutral packaging.
Thank you to NAOS for this inspiring interlude and this moment of sharing in support of an industry undergoing transformation!
Thank you to Eranova for their welcome and for sharing their exciting adventure!
At our Cahors site, the implementation of automated warehouse management using electric AGVs marks a significant step forward in our logistics organization.
This innovative system enhances our performance and truly demonstrates our commitment to safety prevention, industrial innovation and decarbonization:
A collective success at ANL Cahors!
