Plastiques des Neiges

What Plastiques des Neiges does

Plastiques des Neiges is a French industrial manufacturer of thermoplastic profiles, panels, and protection accessories used in the construction, renovation, and finishing of food-industry premises, cold-storage facilities, healthcare kitchens, and industrial buildings. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Allinges (Haute-Savoie), the company operates a single factory running on 3x8 shifts with PVC and PEHD extrusion lines, machining, cutting, and door-assembly workshops. Its product portfolio spans wall and ceiling cladding (including the Lambris PVC 333 co-extruded cladding invented in 2004), mounting profiles (U, H, suspension T) for insulating panels, hygiene finishing profiles (angleronds, baseboards, corner guards), protection systems (bumpers, the registered NOCHOK® barrier system), PEHD swing doors, strip curtains, and consumables (adhesives, screws, rivets, pressure regulation valves). The portfolio is HACCP International certified for food hygiene and increasingly built from recycled PVC inputs under the MORE label.

The company generates revenue primarily through one-time B2B sales of custom-manufactured PVC and PEHD profiles and accessories, with quote-based pricing tied to specifications, quantities, and customization. It serves a vertical customer base organized around French food-industry construction and renovation: primary buyers are insulation contractors (isoleurs), refrigeration specialists (frigoristes), architects, and cold-storage builders, with food processors (slaughterhouses, dairies, central kitchens, bakeries) and healthcare facilities as downstream end-users. Distribution is direct, conducted through an in-house technical and commercial team via phone and email ([email protected]), supported by a downloadable product catalog. The company claims the broadest agro-mounting and finishing PVC profile range on the French market and emphasizes circular-economy production, French manufacturing (French Fab member), and continuous R&D focused on installer-friendly innovations (Cékadé installation system, asymmetric floor profiles).

Organizationally, Plastiques des Neiges is a privately-held SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with €105,000 of share capital, registered in Thonon-les-Bains. It has no disclosed parent company, no external funding rounds, and operates with 11–50 employees. Hervé Cloppet serves as Directeur de la publication. The operating footprint is described as France-focused (Haute-Savoie), with the Lambris PVC 333 product line claiming several million m² installed worldwide through reseller and contractor channels.
