Korus Packaging, the Verpack group's Bordeaux plant, has been awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label, becoming the first of the group's sites to benefit from the government label set up to distinguish "French craft and industrial companies with rare and exceptional know-how."
Specifically built for its industrial purpose, the Verpack Bordeaux site specializes in the design and production of folding cartons and the printing of covers for assembled boxes. Thanks to state-of-the-art equipment, it stands out for its printing, gilding, embossing and die-cutting operations.
This recognition validates the group's commitment to unique know-how based on the mastery of traditional or highly technical techniques. "For the group, this EPV label represents much more than a distinction; it is the recognition of unique know-how that our teams preserve and pass on, and that no traditional training program teaches," says the company.
The label was awarded under the authority of the French Ministry of the Economy and Finance, and the region's prefect, Étienne Guyot. To date, only 1000 companies have been awarded this label. In the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, Korus Packaging becomes the second company in its sector to obtain the label.
From inheritance to transmission
The term "heritage" refers to notions of inheritance and transmission. This is not unrelated to the Verpack Group's strong commitment to human resources, the development of people within the company and the transmission of knowledge. Through its local presence, the company is involved in targeted recruitment, assiduous training and experience-sharing with its peers.
"This label is a wonderful recognition for all our teams, who work with passion every day, and a strong encouragement to continue to pass on our skills and perform, while remaining faithful to our identity."points out Géraldine Delaval, Q-RSE Manager for the Verpack Group.
