"And this is only the beginning," explained Marc Pivaudran, President, "because we are planning to integrate a new anodizing line that will be operational by the end of 2018 or early 2019".

Among Pivaudran’s latest achievements, the anodized and engraved gold plates that decorate the top of the secondary packaging of the Louis Vuitton new line of fragrances.

After going through a rough patch, the French firm based in Souillac, South-Western France, has found a new lease of life. "We secured big contracts in our traditional sector," underlined the Head of Pivaudran, "not only in the perfume sector, but also in make-up where we are taking part to the launch of a series of mascaras."

In recent years, the French Company will have consistently developed itself, not only in terms of industrial equipment and adaptation to new standards, but also in terms of staff training.

ISO 14001

"Our training budget is eight to ten times higher than what the law imposes," highlighted Marc Pivaudran. “Concerning environmental standards, we are at the forefront with the ISO 14001 Certification, acquired last October and we are also working hard on our energy saving upgrade".

In parallel, the company is focusing on new metal processing techniques to continue to innovate in the area of shapes and decoration options. The new 3000 m² building will mostly be home to new automatic assembly machines but also new storage areas.
