Etraves is a company created in 1991 by Mr. Papin. After a few years, Etraves showed an enormous potential and quickly, the family company became a specialist in this field of activities. In 2003, the company received the prestigious ISO 9001 certification. This standard, the latest version of which dates back to September 2015, defines the requirements for the implementation of a quality management system for companies that want to serve their customers in the best possible way and ensure that their customers are completely satisfied. In the wake of this great success, Etraves can boast QSE (Quality-Safety-Environment) certification. This certification is a great proof of its commitment to quality and respect for the environment, as well as an open door to increase its notoriety. Beautiful and deserved victories for Mr Papin and his team.
The family company that is going up, going up...
In full growth since the beginning of the 2000's, Etraves increases its workforce and modernizes to better meet the needs of its customers. After a busy professional life and almost 20 years of passion through the Etraves adventure, Mr Papin finally retires in 2010. That's when Valerie, Isabelle and Pascal, the founder's three children, took over the company. Now, 8 years later, more than 260 regular customers trust the Etraves team. Loyal customers, who are both SMEs and large groups. The company's customers come from a wide range of sectors such as the automotive industry, mass distribution and construction. Etraves wishes to answer with precision to the requests of the professionals, whoever they are. The requests are more and more numerous and, at present, Etraves realizes an annual turnover of 6 million euros. Reactivity and respect of commitments are some of Etraves' values.
Who are the people who make Etraves?
On a daily basis, the 37 employees fill and package liquid and paste-like products into all types of containers for small- and medium-volume production runs. Labeling, kit assembly, and distribution are just a few of the additional services available at Etraves. More than 1,200 different product SKUs and 673 metric tons of products are packaged annually. This also represents 37,000 production hours and 140 active suppliers. The company has two sites: the main site in Breuil-le-Sec and the Ercuis site. While the latter serves as the tube production site, the former functions as both the company’s administrative headquarters and the production site for cans, bottles, cartridges, pouches, and two-component products. Thanks to these two sites, Etraves is able to respond quickly and efficiently to the (often urgent!) requests of its various customers. These figures may seem impressive, but they are simply a testament to the quality that defines Etraves. Etraves is a committed company whose story began with a simple favor for a manufacturer in the former Picardy region and which, over the years, has become an integral part of the French liquid and paste packaging industry.
