The Verpack Group designs, develops and packages folding cartons and carton boxes for the premium beauty, wine & spirits, fashion and delicatessen markets.
Of its six sites, five are in France. The sixth is in Sousse, Tunisia. Managed by a Franco-Tunisian team, this manual assembly and trimming operation has just moved into its new quarters on a 5,500 m2 site which formerly housed the zipper production facility of Japanese manufacturer YKK.
Verpack customized the building to its image and functional requirements. Since the beginning of the year, the 180 team members at Sousse have been working in optimal conditions, as the site can accommodate up to 400 operators. Taking advantage of the local textile industry's long history, Sousse's workers are all qualified and accustomed to high quality standards for precise, meticulous work. The site has been awarded bronze by EcoVadis and intends to continue its progress.
A short, safe circuit
The Verpack Group confirms its choice of Tunisia for its expertise and proximity. The geographical position and organization of the workshop contribute to this.
The materials, all sourced (FSC) and processed at the Group's French sites, are shipped to Tunisia in just a few days. For the return trip to France, the site is "under customs control", which facilitates logistics. On site, a customs officer validates the load and seals the truck for direct delivery to the customer without any further interaction. These logistics guarantee efficiency and security.
