Passionate about cosmetics and new trends, Fleur Phelipeau, creator of the D-Lab Nutricosmétics nutritional supplements brand, founded D-Lab in 2019. The company develops and distributes nutritional beauty supplements in the form of programs or individually.
The D-Lab factory in 2021. "Above all, it's a story of desire. A childhood passion for industry. My eyes were wide open when my father took me to the beverage and bottling plants at Vichy Célestins. I've always found it a fantastic world!says the founder.
A 100% greentech plant Made in France
To take the vision and values dear to the 35-year-old entrepreneur even further, the factory project was born. This 2,600 m2 facility in France is designed to produce food supplements using 100% of Green Tech ingredients chosen for their naturalness and bioavailability.
And since Vichy and Made in France are part of D-Lab's DNA, the plant is located in the heart of the Naturopôle in St-Bonnet de Rochefort, in the Allier region.
A space dedicated to the production of food supplements
7440 m2 of land and a 2610 m2 building will bring together all the stages in the development of food supplements: from storage to production, including packaging, assembly, laboratories and offices. This represents an investment of 3.5 million euros to create the factory of tomorrow.
From player to channel
The D-Lab Industry factory is designed to have as little negative impact as possible on the environment. Rainwater harvesting for watering, eco-friendly insulation, solar panels for energy self-sufficiency, optimized transport, zero waste policy... The construction site itself has been awarded the low environmental impact label, for a coherent 100 % approach. With one ambition: to move from player to industry. "We don't just want to produce our own food supplements for ease or cost, we want to produce for players who share the same values as us: clean, natural, local, caring and ethical".emphasizes Fleur Phelipeau.
