The Faiveley Plast Group is evolving through a new unifying identity. This change celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Faiveley family's first acquisition of a plastics company, and above all, 30 years of investment and development of a recognized international group with strong and complementary expertise. It also marks the transition to a new generation of family shareholders.
The Faiveley Plast Group has now become "FaiveleyTech, Manufacture for a sustainable future". It is asserting itself as a resource and expert entity for all its partners and customers in the Industry, Beauty and Health sectors.
Change your name to better evolve and reinvent yourself
Over the past thirty years, Faiveley Plast has acquired a large number of sites, tools and skills, making it an entity with a wide range of expertise and skills. " We wanted to mark this move upmarket, and express through our name our added value in terms of engineering and innovation in the fields of digital technology and eco-responsibility. Our new name, FaiveleyTech, brings together all of our brands, pooling our many skills and giving us new visibility with our customers and partners. "explains Nicolas Alloin, President of FaiveleyTech.
The change of name also marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Group, with a transition in its shareholder base and a new generation of the Faiveley family at the helm. This is the seventh generation to be involved in its management. FaiveleyTech is entering a new chapter and announcing a new ambition, both industrial and human.
A name chosen collectively thanks to everyone's involvement4

" We wanted to mark this move upmarket, and express through our name our added value in terms of engineering and innovation in the fields of digital technology and eco-responsibility. Our new name, FaiveleyTech, brings together all of our brands, pooling our many skills and giving us new visibility with our customers and partners. "explains Nicolas Alloin, President of FaiveleyTech.
The change of name also marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Group, with a transition in its shareholder base and a new generation of the Faiveley family at the helm. This is the seventh generation to be involved in its management. FaiveleyTech is entering a new chapter and announcing a new ambition, both industrial and human.
The new name was chosen by the teams of the group's companies, by the Executive Committee and by the historical shareholder family. At each site, a working group made up of employees from different departments considered possible names, voted on them and took a position. " One point was non-negotiable: we wanted to keep the Faiveley name, because our history and our specificity as a family business are important to us. This human family connection anchors us in a continuity and durability that make sense. "notes Nicolas Alloin.
The addition of "Tech" brings the "technology" aspect, but also a nod to the "French Tech", to position itself on the ambition of a reindustrialization of France. " We are convinced that France can and must reindustrialize. Our country has great development potential. Our part in this ambition is to broaden FaiveleyTech's know-how, to go beyond the processing of raw materials, and to move towards the development of complex products, using global approaches. "
The baseline "Manufacture d'avenir durable" is rooted in tradition as well as in a responsible future, in every respect. It marks a continuity between the past and the future. The word "manufacture" connotes historical know-how, involvement and application in the work. The notion of a sustainable future evokes current environmental considerations, as well as a desire to maintain jobs by maintaining and developing technical and innovative expertise. The blue white and red color codes are maintained. On the web, the group will display the banner of France through an address in ".fr" to position itself as a French company.
A new name and an evolution towards more fluidity in-house
In adopting the FaiveleyTech brand, the Group has decided to stop using the old names of the sites and companies it has integrated over the years. The sites will bear the name of the city in which they are located: FaiveleyTech Orgelet (ex-VPI), FaiveleyTech Annecy (ex-Eudica), FaiveleyTech Bourgoin (ex-Sepal), etc.
These new names are all opportunities to mark a strong territorial anchoring and an involvement in local life.
There is no longer any question of divisions, and this is the purpose of the change of name: a gathering under a single brand. The pooling of resources is being achieved through the creation of three Business Units, each covering the group's areas of expertise - Industry, Beauty and Health - and cross-functional services such as human resources, finance and purchasing.
"Our goal is for each Business Unit to benefit from the best practices of each other, to share and increase skills in all areas, for a collective evolution and emulation beneficial to all," explains Nicolas Alloin, President of FaiveleyTech.
The Industry, Beauty and Healthcare Business Units each have their own points of excellence:
- Digital technologies and highly automated processes for industry,
- Agility, creativity and virtuous materials for beauty,
- Quality performance, traceability and control of health risks.
" We put the points of excellence of each other at the service of the others. The fact that we are in three different fields is a real added value, because the problems and needs are transversal. The bridges between these sectors are opportunities to evolve and innovate. "underlines Nicolas Alloin.
Transversality and transparency: two keys to FaiveleyTech's evolution
For partners and client companies, the reorganization into Business Units will bring transparency to internal processes and increased international competitiveness. As each plant has its own expertise, customers' projects will benefit from the pooling of resources. Customers will be able to discuss their projects with a FaiveleyTech contact person, who will propose manufacturing at one or more sites with specific expertise, with an approach that is both
global and unified.
" In this new era of FaiveleyTech, we want each site to bring its own
contribution to the rise in competence of all. It's an increase in power
that unites all our teams around a single strategic vision. Our
employees want to take their place in a strong group, with ambitions and a sense of belonging.

teams. "
Since January 2022, FaiveleyTech's development has also been supported by a BPI gas pedal. This support is scheduled to last 18 months. It will support a shared approach to project management, enabling plants to enhance their skills. The first areas to be addressed are the foundations of a multi-business unit organization, support services for operations and innovation.
The transition to FaiveleyTech is more than just a name change. It is the result of a new vision for the Group, which aims to make sense for both its employees and its customers. With this change, FaiveleyTech aims to build loyalty among its employees, facilitate their skills development and also attract new talent, a major challenge for industrial companies today.
Deciphering a new brand signature
FaiveleyTech is a single word, for one entity. Its upper/lower case spelling enhances legibility, in a guideline of humility. The choice of the word "Manufacture" as a baseline reflects this spirit of simplicity, anchoring in the past and paying tribute to the involvement and application of all the Group's players, at all levels. Keeping the name "Faiveley" was also a prerequisite. The "i", with its
connection between the bar and the point, symbolizes the injection point of a plastic part,
core business of the ETI. The addition of "Tech" marks the importance of technology and
technology, and positions the group in a claimed industrial framework. "Tech"
connotes innovation and the future, and more precisely an optimistic and eco-responsible future, as the rest of the baseline states through the expression "sustainable future". The idea of looking to the future is also symbolized by the italics, like a dynamic momentum. Finally, the color code blue white red underlines FaiveleyTech's pride and ambition to make France shine, nationally and internationally.
