Thanks to our historic swimming pool business, of course, but not only that. With the industrial facilities we have built, we are now going to diversify our activities. This will help us offset the usual cycles in our market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What areas of diversification are you considering?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, we already sell polyethylene to other manufacturers. We are also moving forward with pallets. Two years ago, we stopped using wooden pallets and began manufacturing our own plastic pallets from recycled materials that we sort and process ourselves. Now that we have mastered the process, the idea is to take it further. We have just launched an e-commerce website selling lightweight pallets (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.smart-palett.fr\">www.smart-palett.fr<\/a>). We will then expand the range of products available.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you also considering other applications for your new calendering unit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, absolutely. Our unit has the capacity to produce 6 million m\u00b2 per year, while our own requirements are only between 600,000 and 800,000 m\u00b2. Next year, we will therefore launch a range of waterproofing products. I\u2019m not saying it will happen overnight, but this activity could eventually generate \u20ac25 million in revenue. There are very few players in this market in France.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interview by St\u00e9phanie Gallo TRYOLERE for Le Progr\u00e8s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Where do you see your company in 10 years? \u201cI believe it will be thriving.
