What is established and what is not
No researcher review has been written for this company yet. 12 official records from 9 official sources are on file. 1 other entry is not an official record: 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 trading role above rests on the official records listed below, and only as far as each literally goes. Nothing here confirms manufacturing or ownership beyond what each record literally says.
Facts on file, each with its evidence type
- Workforce size in the company register (record type: workforce-on-record) [official record; status green] Between 100 and 199 employees on the state record.

- On the company register (record type: registered-since) [official record; status green] On the company register since 1989. 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)
- Registered for trade, not manufacturing (record type: registered-trade-only) [official record; status amber] Indicates the register lists trade, not production. effective since 2026-08-01. INSEE SIRENE (Registre national des entreprises)
- 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 2007. 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)
- Legal entity ID lapsed (record type: lei-lapsed) [official record; status amber] The global finance identifier was not renewed. checked 2026-08-23. GLEIF global LEI register (golden copy)
- 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 2026-08-30. EU EORI validation (European Commission)
- Places goods on the market (national producer register) (record type: places-goods-on-market; this record does not by itself establish manufacturing) [official record; status green] A state register lists this company as placing these goods on the market, as their maker or importer. By itself it does not show who makes them. checked 2026-09-07. Registre national des producteurs (ADEME/SYDEREP), France
- financials-published (record type: financials-published) [official record; status green] Annual accounts filed for 2016: revenue €91.8M, profit €1.6M.

- Named directors on file (record type: directors-on-file) [official record; status green] 3 directors on file. The register names the people who run the company, so there is someone answerable if something goes wrong. checked 2026-07-09. INSEE Sirene (annuaire-entreprises)
- Takes part in public tenders (record type: public-contract-awarded) [official record; status green] 5 public contracts on record, the latest awarded 2025-02-05. A public buyer selected this supplier through an official tender. Open the source for the contracts themselves. effective since 2025-02-05. DECP, French public-procurement register Here the award carries someone else's check: in the EU and the EEA a public buyer must exclude bidders convicted of fraud, corruption or money laundering, and those found by a final decision to owe taxes or social contributions. That check applied to this tender on the date of the award: it does not show the company's situation today, and winning a contract does not show that it was carried out. Directive 2014/24/EU, Article 57 (exclusion grounds)
- EU VAT number valid for cross-border trade (record type: vat-valid) [official record; status green] The number is registered and active: we asked the EU VIES service and it answered yes. An invalid VAT number is the first sign an invoice comes from the wrong company. checked 2026-07-09. VIES
- Registry ID checks out with the state register (record type: registry-id-verified) [official record; status green] Helps confirm the company on this page is the same legal entity as in the register. checked 2026-09-10. GLEIF Global LEI record

Import rules for these goods
Product-specific import rules not established for the catalog category Office Supplies & Equipment: neither the company's own description nor an official activity code shows that its own goods are of this kind.

Check independently
Before a first order, ask whose products they sell and on what basis: a distribution agreement or the manufacturer's authorisation.
