Tallineau Emballage

What Tallineau Emballage does

Tallineau Emballage is a French custom cardboard packaging manufacturer headquartered in Vertou, Pays de la Loire, operating a secondary production site in Chantonnay (Vendée). Founded approximately a century ago (sources cite 1921 and 1924), the company specializes in tailor-made corrugated and cardboard packaging across 11 core product types — customizable boxes, e-commerce shipping solutions, quick-assembly crates, display/POS boxes, gift coffrets, large-format industrial cases, ready-to-sell displays, and valise-style cases — plus complementary cushioning consumables (cushioning machines, bubble wrap, adhesive tape, palletization products). Its technical stack combines in-house CAD/DAO design and prototyping with flexographic printing (up to 5 colors), offset printing, die-cutting, and folding-gluing across 10 production lines, and the operation is certified to ISO 9001:2015, FSC C141457, and Imprim'Vert.

The company serves five primary verticals — Food & Beverage (Cavavin, Giffard, Metro, Euralis), Luxury & Beauty (Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Berluti, Nuxe), Electronics (Materiel.net, Cofidur Ems, Eolane, Delta Dore, Thompson), E-commerce (Diouda), and Industry (Airbus, Manitou, Vorwerk, Evolis) — using a sales-led GTM with dedicated sector account managers running a structured four-step process from brief through design, prototyping, manufacturing, and delivery. Pricing is quote-based with a 500-unit minimum order quantity; products are delivered via the company's own truck fleet, with on-site warehousing and just-in-time options. Trade area is restricted to Grand Ouest de la France and the Paris region, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.

In September 2025, the Brochard family transferred capital to a new management team (Céline Le Borgne as Présidente/RAF, Frédéric Bouligand leading production and logistics at site 44, Franck Bonnaud leading production at site 85), with Benjamin Brochard retaining minority equity and continuing in purchasing and CSR functions. The company has no disclosed parent, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and operates exclusively as a private SAS.

Broad incumbents

• Mondi: European-headquartered paper and packaging group with significant corrugated and paperboard container operations. Comparable business model to Tallineau at the converter level, but with global scale and integrated paper production.
• Smurfit Westrock: Global paper and packaging leader (formed 2024 merger of Smurfit Kappa and WestRock). Comparable as a large-scale producer of corrugated and paperboard packaging serving industrial and consumer customers across Europe, though at far greater scale and breadth than Tallineau.
• DS Smith: Major European producer of corrugated packaging with deep presence in France. Directly comparable to Tallineau as a paperboard converter serving industrial and FMCG customers, but at much larger scale with pan-European operations.
• Saica Group: Spanish-headquartered paper and packaging manufacturer with corrugated packaging operations across Europe including France. Similar custom and standard paperboard packaging offerings for industrial and consumer customers.
• International Paper: Global paper and packaging leader (now including former DS Smith operations) with significant European corrugated and paperboard packaging footprint. Comparable as a paperboard converter serving multinational customers, though at vastly greater scale.
• Coveris: European flexible and rigid paper-based packaging manufacturer. Comparable as a converter producing custom paperboard and corrugated packaging for food, e-commerce, and industrial customers across multiple European markets.

Regional players

• Petit Forestier Group: French packaging and cold-chain solutions provider with packaging manufacturing operations. Comparable as a France-based custom packaging player, with overlap in industrial packaging segments but a different specialty focus.

Direct peers

• Raja Group: Major French packaging distributor and converter with a strong catalog and custom solutions arm. Comparable overlap with Tallineau in cardboard packaging supply, although Raja operates a broader catalog-plus-custom hybrid model.
• Allard Emballages: French custom cardboard and corrugated packaging manufacturer. Closest direct comparable to Tallineau in scale, geography (France), and offering — custom paperboard packaging for industrial, food, and retail customers with similar MOQ-driven project-based revenue model.

Emerging players

• Bischof + Klein: German flexible and paper-based packaging manufacturer with strong specialty converter capabilities. Comparable to Tallineau in producing custom-engineered paperboard packaging for industrial and consumer customers, though with broader material scope.
