Listed in a source registry

France INSEE Sirene / INPI RNE state register (annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr)

What is established and what is not

No researcher review has been written for this company yet. 24 official records from 18 official sources are on file. 6 other entries are not official records: our own technical checks and searches, open directory listings, our inferences or the company's own statements. Everything is listed below with its evidence type: each entry confirms only what it literally says; none of them is a review. The manufacturing role above rests on the official records listed below, and only as far as each literally goes: a facility registration or licence is not an observation of current production. Nothing here confirms ownership or trading status beyond what each record literally says.

Facts on file, each with its evidence type

• Website domain registered (record type: domain-registered) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] Shows how long this web address has been registered. That is the age of the domain, not of the company: a domain can change owners. checked 2026-07-28. Domain registry record
• No insolvency proceedings on record (record type: insolvency-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] We searched the official bulletin and found no insolvency proceedings on that date. checked 2026-09-27. BODACC (annuaire-entreprises)
• Certificates named on their own site (record type: certificate-page-on-site; this record does not by itself establish manufacturing) [stated or published by the company, not an official record; status amber] Shows where the company itself claims the certificate, so you can open that page and judge it. checked 2026-09-18. Company's own certification page
• On the company register (record type: registered-since) [official record; status green] On the company register since 1998. Shows how long the company has been on the state register, which is hard to fake and easy to check. effective since 2026-08-01. INSEE SIRENE (Registre national des entreprises)
• An environmental inspector visited the plant, on the official record (record type: facility-inspected) [official record; status green] Inspected 2025-10-17. An inspector came to the site on that date, so the site existed then and was not only licensed on paper. The visit itself does not show what was being made there. checked 2026-10-13. Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)
• First recorded on the web archive (record type: web-presence-since) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] The company website was already online in 2001. Shows a web archive saw a page at this address on that date. It does not show who ran the site then. checked 2026-08-21. Internet Archive (Wayback)
• EU customs identifier (EORI) active (record type: export-registered-eori) [official record; status green] An EORI number identifies the company to EU customs for imports, exports and transit. A valid number does not show that any shipment took place and is not a licence to export a particular product. checked 2026-08-27. EU EORI validation (European Commission)
• Authorised Economic Operator in the EU customs register (record type: aeo-certified) [official record; status green] Customs granted trusted-trader status after auditing its procedures. checked 2026-08-30. EU AEO register (European Commission)

• No match found on the sanctions lists we checked (record type: sanctions-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; name search, no matching candidate] We searched the public sanctions datasets and found no matching candidate. A name search is not full compliance screening. checked 2026-08-16. OpenSanctions
• No match found in the debarment registers we checked (record type: debarment-clear) [our own observation, not an official record; name search, no matching candidate] We searched the public debarment datasets and found no matching candidate. Absence from these lists is a search result, not a certificate. checked 2026-08-16. OpenSanctions

The inspector checked each regulatory point and wrote down which ones need a follow-up. A request for documents is an open question, not a proven breach; the report does not say how it was resolved later. checked 2026-10-13. Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)
• registry-activity (record type: registry-activity) [official record; status green] Activity code in the state register: NAF 10.81Z.
