On Friday, October 02, 2015, elected officials from the Rochebaron à Chalencon communauté de communes and the Haut Velay granite plateau canton visited the Velfor group companies, which specialize in plastic thermoforming.
Velfor, employs 210 people and is a major employment resource in the plateau, in three different sites. Guided by the company’s CEO, Pierre Brun, the elected representatives visited the workshops in the hamlet of Boisset Haut, Velfor Emballage and Velfor Conditionnement.
Against the backdrop of other industrial sectors, the sales of plastics companies continue to develop favorably.
The VELFOR group, a specialist in plastic thermoforming, €21,000 for 220 employees, based in the commune of Saint Pal en Chalencon in the Haute-Loire, is no exception to the rule, as the 2014/2015 financial year shows an increase in sales across all its sites. VELFOR comprises five companies, each specializing in a dedicated transformation process.
After a year rich in investment, with the creation of over 1,000 m² of new storage space and the purchase of a latest-generation ILLIG thermoforming machine, VELFOR is investing in a new machining center.
This machining center is one of the world’s first, and part of a new high-end machine concept. More powerful and sturdier in construction, this high-tech machine will enable the VELFOR Group to meet even more specific tool and mold manufacturing requirements. Capable of handling parts weighing up to 1,500 kg, it features an innovative cooling and guiding system that guarantees machining precision.
Aware of the need to innovate, this approach is part of the drive to modernize existing machinery. The VELFOR group is constantly arming itself to ensure its long-term future.
