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.

Somater: women in industry

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.

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!

label européen MORE (MObilisés pour REcycler)

‘MORE’ label again this year

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.

Somater mobilised for Pink October

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.
