G.pivaudran, a specialist in metal processing, showcased its latest achievements at the Luxe Pack trade show held in Monaco on September 30, October 1 and 2, 2024.
The company, a partner of luxury brands, has been involved in the creation of two fragrance lines.
She created the anodized aluminum plate and cap that adorn the bottles of one of the new season's launches. The cap features a fine engraving on the top. Its special anodizing gives it a high-gloss effect that underlines the purity of the object.
A fourfold technical challenge was met by the g.pivaudran teams: curving the curvature of the plate, enhancing the design, mastering the angles and sublimating the complex shaping of the chimney. The experts at g.pivaudran were also able to adapt the process to the different formats, each with its own specific features.
Particular attention has been paid to the color of the hood and nameplate, to match the overall look.
"The challenges of luxury brands drive us every day. With the cap and nameplate for this new fragrance, our teams have risen to an unprecedented challenge with flying colors. Every project has its share of novelty and technical challenge. This project demonstrates the expertise of g.pivaudran, who know how to deploy the technical skills of their trade for each brand's projects.said Marc Pivaudran, President of g.pivaudran.
A silk-screened anodized plate for Montblanc
G.pivaudran also took part in the creation of Montblanc Collection, the first fragrance collection from the house of Montblanc, comprising four fragrances to be launched in May 2024 in 125 ml sizes - Black Meisterstück, Patchouli Ink, Extreme Leather and Vetiver Glacier.
Each bottle is adorned with a shiny silver anodized plate enhanced by a black silk-screen print. This decoration is a tribute to the iconic Meisterstück pen, the German company's flagship piece, which celebrated the centenary of its creation in 2024.
G.pivaudran designed the angle at the top of the plate, which follows the shape of the bottle. His expertise was also evident in the finesse and precise positioning of the silkscreen.
"All brand projects become projects of the heart. This was all the more the case with the fragrance collection from the iconic house of Montblanc. Transposing the distinctive aesthetic of the Meisterstück pen onto a bottle was an exciting challenge. We are proud to have contributed to this beautiful project.said Hervé Delaigue, Sales and Development Director.
G.pivaudran will soon have a new automatic anodizing line. Installed at the Souillac site in the Lot region, this latest-generation line will be inaugurated in November 2024. It will enable the company to double its current surface treatment capacity, while reducing water, energy and chemical consumption by a third. The facility is part of a two-pronged approach: to boost production and accelerate the company's CSR transformation. This €7.5 million investment will be accompanied by the recruitment of some fifty new employees over the next three years.
