Riou will repackage its float glass in France
The company saw Riou Glass historic hours. After 15 years of service, the oven of Eurofloat plant near Lyon needs uen major maintenance.
"THE ONLY INDEPENDENT LAUNCH FOUR"
Specializing in glass processing, the company installed near Pont-Audemer has engaged in a risky venture: producing its own glass to be completely autonomous. In 2008, the glass shortage pushes the founding president Pierre Riou to secure supplies. The group employs around 1,000 employees in six locations in France and four overseas (Mauritius, Reunion, Madagascar) going one step forward in 2012 by partnering with Saint-Gobain. The redemption half the Eurofloat plant in Salaise-sur-Sanne (38) seals the covenant in terms of production.
For Eurois from nothing 38 years ago, the act is not trivial. "A marriage between people of the CAC 40 and a peasant's been a shock! "Jokes the contractor who last year received the prize" heart stroke "of the jury of the 25th Victoires Autodidactes. "Today, we are the only independent in France to launch an oven. Groups have already done, but not peasants "proudly insists, Pierre Riou, head of a company that generated € 165 million in turnover in 2015.
If these days are historic for Riou Glass, this also is investment that represents this new oven: € 26 million. They are in addition to € 50 million for the purchase of half of the plant, partly with the help of the Public Investment Bank. "I had the audacity to do so, I found the money," said Pierre Riou who claims to have perpetuated this site. "Employees [some 200 people, Editor's note] were skeptical. There was always a question mark over the future of the plant. "
If everything goes as agreed, Eurofloat proceed with the ignition on April 28, for a first glass poured on 19 May.
A project more in assets of this insatiable entrepreneur who does not stop there. "There is much to do in the United States and Canada," the boss slips 63 years. It opened, there is still a month using a company laying in Boulleville involved throughout France to help customers put large volumes. More no area is untouched by Riou Glass
Africaver, an investment in automotive glass.
Created thanks to the spin of the Enava in 1997, the company Africaver think about setting up a production unit in the west of the country to approach the future automotive division.
Located in the industrial area of Ouled Salah (Taher, Jijel), the Spa Africaver economic public company seriously considering settling in joint venture with a French company in Oran to enjoy the setting Place the automotive cluster in the region and provide automotive glass to the various plants that will take up residence there.
This choice is also explained by the desire of both partners to approach the free zones of Oujda but also Spain and its plants, to enjoy a cheaper cost than transfer of eastern countries export more than being a necessary objective, as the representative of the French company, met at the seminar on subcontracting.
CHEMICAL TEMPERING BECOMES ESSENTIAL IN THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS:
- When thickness of glass is inferior to 2,5mm. Under this thickness it is very difficult and nearly impracticable to thermal temper.
- In case of glasses with very complex bending or dimensional characteristics that cannot be
tempered with thermal equipment.
- Necessity of mechanical resistance superior to the ones obtainable with thermal tempering, in case of special industrial or architectural application.
- Necessity of impact resistance superior to the one obtainable with traditional thermal tempering.
- Necessity to obtain, in addition to mechanical resistance, high optical requirement and total absence of glass surface deformation for industrial and motor application.
