Journée mondiale de l’environnement

World Environment Day

At Somater, our commitment to the environment is reflected in our more responsible industrial production, focused on reducing our energy consumption.

We are proud to announce the renewal of our machine fleet with the integration of state-of-the-art equipment, a major step forward in our environmental approach.

These new facilities enable us to significantly reduce our energy consumption while guaranteeing a high level of performance and quality at our production sites. Our Somater Coutras site is a prime example: replacing old hydraulic presses with new-generation, 100% electric models has reduced our production-related energy consumption by up to 75%.

This is a key step in our commitment to limiting our carbon footprint and actively participating in the decarbonization of our industry. Somater is therefore continuing on its path towards a 25% reduction in CO₂ emissions.

Because every action counts when it comes to protecting the planet, we have chosen to be an innovative, responsible industry focused on a more sustainable future.

Together for success

The Somater, Plastuni, and ANL teams got together last month for our 2025 operational seminar. It was a great chance to share the group’s ambitions for economic performance, CSR, innovation, quality, and the supply chain, all in a spirit of togetherness. It was also an opportunity to align the teams with the needs and expectations of our customers.

The seminar was enriched by a presentation from Joseph Tayefeh, speaker and Secretary General of Plastalliance, who shared his vision of the regulatory context applicable to plastics and stimulated everyone’s thinking on environmental issues in particular.

Finally, the 2024 Awards ceremony celebrated the success of our teams, highlighting operational excellence and individual and collective commitment.

Safety, a shared responsibility

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.

Semaine de l'industrie 2024

Supporting our industry, the engine of our economy

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!
