Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie awarded at the PCD innovation awards 2023

The French factory and its customer Puig are recognized in the perfume category.

Fedrigoni launches the Re-Play range

As part of its work on the circular economy, Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives has created the Re-Play range from the recovery of siliconized label materials (glassine). Through the creation of a dedicated industry, glassine has earned its credentials and become a resource in its own right. It is used in the manufacture of premium products and contributes to the reduction of waste and energy consumption.

This revolutionary new product line is the result of the valorization of glassine. This siliconized support, which is removed and discarded during the application phase of self-adhesive labels, is now collected from the end users. For the first time, the glassine becomes an integral part of the self-adhesive label of which it constitutes the noble part, the one that enhances the product and allows its identification.

The Re-Play product line marks a first in terms of waste recovery. More than just recycling, the process regenerates the waste and transforms it into a premium material with minimal impact. Re-Play includes four types of 100 % recycled papers: Nature White, Hammered, Retro and Pearl. All are FSC recycled certified, attesting to their composition and value as recycled and sustainable products. The manufacturing process is the result of an innovative technical process and involves a virtuous 100 % chain, from waste recovery to the use of the premium products in the range.

Re-Play stems from Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives' Re-Play glassine recovery program. "We decided to go down this path because it meets several of our ESG objectives in terms of waste reduction and CO2 emissions", explains Fulvio Capussotti, executive vice president of the Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives division. " LFedrigoni's goal is to integrate the end customer into this circular economy process and include the entire supply chain, starting with printers, who are the primary users of self-adhesive materials. In the area of recycling, we have signed a partnership with Papeteries de Clairefontaine, owners of a low-temperature pulping process powered by energy from biomass. The addition of glassines to white paper waste allows us to obtain a high quality product without having to resort to invasive de-inking processes, while making significant savings in raw materials.".

Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives is one of the five founding members of Celab-Europe. This consortium of currently 30 members is working on the development of a new business model for self-adhesive materials, based on the circular economy. One of the consortium's objectives is to collectively identify and implement recycling and reuse solutions for self-adhesive label glassines and waste by 2025 by developing a sustainable and circular model for more than 75 % of materials used in Europe. Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives' participation in the Celab-Europe consortium is part of a broader sustainability and innovation project that has led the group to commit to continuous improvement for nearly 30 years.

With its ESG 2030 goals, Fedrigoni aims to become an industry benchmark in environmental policy and one of the best workplaces in terms of safety, inclusion and career opportunities.

Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie, a renewal for 2023

Stoelzle Masnieres Parfumerie (STM), a leading glassmaker specializing in the production of bottles for perfumes, cosmetics and high-end spirits, has announced the successful completion of its financial restructuring, paving the way for a new beginning in 2023.
After having been severely affected by the Covid crisis and the explosion in energy and materials costs, this restructuring operation had become a major and necessary challenge for business continuity.
The injection of fresh capital by the Austrian shareholder and in part by the Hauts-De-France region, as well as the support of the French government and banks through a significant reduction in financial debt, mean that STM can look to the future with a clean balance sheet and increased financial resources. All this will help to sustain the company's growth, secure jobs at our industrial site and ensure the long-term development of our market-renowned know-how.
The shareholder would particularly like to thank the French Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, and the Presidency of the Hauts-De-France Region, which have contributed so much to consolidating Stoelzle Masnieres' financial situation and to its future development.
The company is also delighted to announce an exceptional order intake from prestigious customers in the perfumery and spirits industries, who have given STM their preference because of the quality of the glass bottles and flasks produced by STM, its talent for innovation, its proactive response to market requirements, and the significant level of investment made even during the crisis to better meet growing demand.
STM also announces a strengthening of its organization with the recent recruitment of new highly qualified professionals in several functions, as well as the extension of the responsibilities delegated to Corrado Ferrozzi, until now Managing Director of the industrial part of STM, who has been promoted to Managing Director of both STM and Stoelzle Masnieres Decoration (STD). The Chairman of the 2 entities and representative of the shareholder is Paolo Antonietti Gemma, who is Director of the Board of Directors of the Stoelzle Group.
Etienne Gruyez, after 8 years with STM and having led the company as CEO for the last 5 years, has decided to leave Stoelzle in the coming weeks in search of new professional challenges. With great gratitude for the work he has accomplished, the whole company wishes him all the best for the future.
As far as STM's future is concerned, sustainability will always be the driving force behind our innovations. We will continue to promote our refillable Le Perpétuel pot, launched last June, as well as working on increasing the PCR glass content and reducing CO2 emissions.

Sealester revolutionizes packaging and changes scale

If the digital welding, innovative technology patented by Sealester, opens the field of possibilities to the industrialists in terms of refills and flexible packaging, it places its inventor on a real launching pad.

After having been rewarded by the profession (Emballage Magazine prize) and having closed a fund raising at the end of 2022, the young start-up, which already collaborates with big names like Léa Nature, buys at the beginning of this year the packaging activity of its colleague DeltaNeo. With this new industrial production tool, Sealester's expertise can now take a whole new dimension...

When Clément Fourmaux, an engineer by training, created Sealester in 2020, with the support of BPI France and Ademe, he intended to offer a new approach to the refill and flexible packaging market for the cosmetics, wellness, food and home-care industries. This approach favors creativity in the service of eco-design, reduction of lead times and costs, as well as the ability to produce any size of series - starting with custom-made products and small series.

To do this, he has developed an innovative technology: digital welding.

Based on a unique tool that welds the films together by moving over them, according to a programmed trajectory, this technique offers many advantages.

It allows to conceive and design prototypes in record time (3 days), to create unconventional ergonomic shapes (eco-refills with spouts) based on original and eco responsible materials (paper containing apple fiber, compostable kraft, mono materials...).

In addition to its flexibility, it is economical because it does not require any specific tooling, it reduces material waste (simple and quick set-up) and it uses little energy (only the welding head heats up).

At the end of 2022, Emballage Magazine recognized the interest of digital sealing by awarding Sealester its "promising start" packaging Oscar (production category).

At the same time, with this technology and its expertise, Sealester closed a fundraising of 800K€ with investors and banking partners.

This one allows him to proceed, at the beginning of this year, to the acquisition of the packaging activity of his historical partner, the industrial DeltaNeo. With a team of 10 collaborators completely taken over and 4 main machines (shaping and placing of caps), Sealester acquires an industrial tool already in place to exploit all the power of its technology and its know-how in terms of conception and design. The company can from now on satisfy, in addition to the made-to-measure, as well as the small and medium series, the requests of big productions.

In a dynamic flexible packaging market, Clément Fourmaux, which now employs 18 people (8 by the end of 2022), plans to quadruple its turnover by the end of 2023, to reach nearly 2 million euros.

It will have a strong presence at specialized exhibitions throughout the year (Pharmapack, CFIA Rennes, Interpack Düsseldorf, Natexpo and Prod & Pack).

After concluding two first international deals in 2022 (Great Britain and Finland), Sealester is considering a significant development of its activity outside of France, with the possibility of selling its technology in addition to its solutions.
