What is established and what is not

No researcher review has been written for this company yet. 16 official records from 10 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

• Operating permit for the production site (record type: operating-permit) [official record; status green] Shows an authority issued a permit for an installation at this site for the activity named in the record.

• An environmental inspector visited the plant, on the official record (record type: facility-inspected) [official record; status green] Inspected 2026-06-18.

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 2003.

• Business email on the company's own domain (record type: corporate-mail-on-domain) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] Shows the domain runs its own email rather than a free mailbox.

• 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 2026-08-26. Domain registry record

• 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.
