What is established and what is not

No researcher review has been written for this company yet. 12 official records from 6 official sources are on file. 2 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. A permit is not an inspection report and not an observation that production is running today. effective since 2026-01-27. Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)
• Workforce size in the company register (record type: workforce-on-record) [official record; status green] Between 20 and 49 employees on the state record.

• On the company register (record type: registered-since) [official record; status green] On the company register since 2005.

• An environmental inspector visited the plant, on the official record (record type: facility-inspected) [official record; status green] Inspected 2025-10-31. 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)
• 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.

• 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.

• Street address on file in the state register (record type: registered-establishment) [official record; status green] The place of business the company itself declared when it registered.
