Tube PBL Somater

Extension of the PBL range

In a market that is increasingly sensitive to the circular economy, SOMATER is part of eco-design. Thus, we now offer via our Plastuni Lisses plant a new reference in our range of PBL laminated tubes. In order to cover all the needs of the beauty and health markets, we are delighted to complete our offer with a new 25 mm diameter, in addition to the existing 22, 28, 30, 35, 40 and 50 mm. Aluminum-free PBL tubes offer significant benefits: recyclability, 20% reduction in weight and lower production costs. Combining economy and ecology is one of our priorities. Together with our customers and suppliers, we are working on lighter products, using more recyclable and recycled materials. New all PE, all PP and PE green tubes, available soon, are a good illustration of this approach.

Equality Women-Men in the workplace

Index of professional equality between women and men: SOMATER scores 92/100.

Gender professional equality is one of the government priorities put forward by the President of the Republic. The “Professional Future” law of 5th September 2018 created the Gender Equality Index to promote equal pay. Equality between women and men is at the heart of SOMATER’s values. The rating reflects this strong commitment and our desire to strengthen the position of women in the company.

BIOTHERM wins PCD 2019 innovation award

We would like to heartily congratulate our customer BIOTHERM for the innovation award it won at the PCD event held in Paris in January 2019. BIOTHERM won over the panel of judges with its new BIOTHERM Aquasource bottle.

Plastuni Normandy, SOMATER group’s leading plant in the premium and luxury segments of the cosmetics packaging sector, is behind the latest innovative bottle in the BIOSOURCE range.

The bottle’s design meets the challenge of significantly reducing weight through optimal control of the ISBM (Injection Stretch Blow Moulding) process and fulfils the desire, shared by our two companies, to reduce our environmental footprint.

This eco-design is enhanced by a responsible choice of resins (recycled PET) and optimisation of the BIOTHERM bottle’s packaging when it leaves our plant.

Somater and the entire Plastuni Normandy team are delighted to have contributed to this success, which underlines our commitment to creating packaging that is consistently more environmentally-friendly.
