JCM: Are you considering turning the
Prepreg Excellence Days into a road
show?

A. E. : The event just took place, and
we hadn't planned to do a road show.
But its success took us by surprise,
surpassing our wildest expectations,
so it might lead us to consider a follow-up.

JCM: Do you have any specific objectives that you'd like to mention?

A. E. : I can't give you any specific

a global presence, of course. We are
solidly established in Europe through
our two industrial sites, we have
offices in North America, Asia and
the Middle East, and we work with
a huge network of sales representatives. But in the prepreg market, our
own experts, our technical support
manager and market manager, are the
ones who travel around the world for
all flagship projects.
JCM: What actions have you programmed to get closer to the markets? And
what are your target markets?

A. E. : For each market, a specific

strategy and action plan. We consider

JCM: What are the next steps in your
development?

A. E. : For our range of release liners,

we are already working on a new generation of products. But our ambition
doesn't stop there, we would also like
to acquire a reputation in film-based
materials. For that, our latest investment will be one of the pillars of our
success.

forced multilayer laminates, siliconecoated release liners, gummed papers,
and printing solutions. This activity
generates €115.7 million with a workforce of 495.
It is now one of the leading European
processors of multilayer materials
(flexible packaging, secure packaging,
and insulation facing) and release liners. Using its production sites at Dax
(France) and Linnich (Germany),
Gascogne Laminates manufactures a
broad range of multilayer materials

each market, relying on the expertise
of our specialists and on the creativity
of our "brains", in particular our marketing team. Within Gascogne Laminates, business plans concern everyone. The ideas come thick and fast,
floated by our management, commercial teams, engineers, or producers.
For example, here are two strategic
drivers retained for two other target
markets: one, the two patents we filed
for the safe & secure shipment market
and which are currently under the
approval process; two, our investment
in a new industrial tool entirely dedicated to the building insulation market in accordance with our customers'

"We understand our markets, and
provide our customers with intelligent

of market segments where we aim
at becoming the preferred partner
of market leaders (...)". This is our
internal driver, it motivates and brings
together our teams, and is appreciated
by our partners.
