What Agriplas-Sotralentz does
Agriplas-Sotralentz Packaging is a French industrial plastic packaging manufacturer and the Packaging Division of diversified conglomerate Groupe Roullier. The company designs, develops, and produces rigid HDPE and PP containers — drums (220L, 120L, 150L, including UN-approved variants for hazardous-material transport), jerrycans (5L, 10L, 25L, including the eco-designed 5L Style), small containers, and fully custom packaging developed through a six-step process from rough proposals to mass production. Its core technology stack rests on extrusion blow moulding and injection processes, with two proprietary differentiators: an in-line PLASMA barrier treatment applied after blowing (UN-approved, food-contact safe, 100% recyclable) and three-layer HDPE packaging that sandwiches recycled material between virgin inner and outer layers. Vertically integrated regranulation and drying lines at the Drulingen site transform roughly 4,000 tonnes per year of recycled plastic flake into controlled-quality REBOOCLE pellets used across the product range.
The company operates three 24/7 production sites in France (Dinard, Bellegarde, and Drulingen), processing approximately 16,000 tonnes of raw materials per year and dispatching 7,000 loaded trucks annually, with a workforce of around 165 employees. Agriplas-Sotralentz sells exclusively through a direct sales motion — products are not transacted via the website; instead, technical data sheets are downloadable via a gated contact form and quotes are handled by the in-house commercial team. Pricing is quote-based and structured as multi-year contracts with industrial buyers. The end-customer base spans manufacturers of lubricants, industrial detergents, hazardous chemicals, food, cosmetics, and medical/pharmaceutical products, plus a custom-project client segment served via bespoke tooling and mould production. The combined entity was formed in 2016 when Agriplas acquired Sotralentz Packaging, and has since pursued a deliberate circular-economy strategy evidenced by five consecutive years (2021–2026) of MORE label certification and an EMB I PACK partnership for IBC renovation services.
