What conditionnement thermo formage pour le commerce et l'industrie does

CTCI Group is a French family-owned thermoforming specialist founded in 1974 by Robert Leleu and currently led by his son David Leleu as CEO. Headquartered in Singrist near Strasbourg, the group operates 12 technical thermoforming units across four production sites in France (CTCI Production, EPH in St-Aubin-sur-Gaillon, Algoplast for extrusion, and Recytherm for plastic recycling) and employs approximately 105 people, generating around \u20ac20 million in annual turnover. The company thermoforms plastic sheets (PET, PVC, PS) into custom trays, packaging, cushioning, and handling solutions for industrial clients, with capabilities spanning large formats up to 1450 x 1250 mm, thicknesses from 150 microns to 12 mm, and 5-axis machining for finishing.

CTCI serves five core verticals: automotive parts handling, cosmetics and luxury presentation packaging, food-grade packaging, pharmaceutical protection, and ESD anti-static electronics packaging. Its product range includes cell trays, waffle/alveolar trays, presentation boxes (PLV), blister packaging, and reusable logistics trays, all supported by in-line robotic punching, controlled-environment working conditions, and ISO 9001:2015 certified processes. A distinctive feature is the group's closed-loop offering: through Recytherm and Algoplast, CTCI reclaims end-of-life trays, grinds and qualifies the material, and re-extrudes it into sheets for new thermoformed parts, enabling customers to operate reusable, traceable packaging loops with on-site collection, dust removal, batch traceability, and buy-back of obsolete inventory.

CTCI runs a sales-led B2B go-to-market model, selling directly to enterprise customers via its multilingual website (French, English, German), a quote request form, LinkedIn presence, B2B trade shows, and SEO. Pricing is custom and quote-based, typically structured as multi-year contracts, with no publicly disclosed price list, no channel partners, and no marketplace distribution; customer support and engineering are delivered across the four French sites. The group is a closely-held private company with no external institutional investors or public listing referenced in available sources.

• Faerch: European leader in rigid food-grade thermoformed trays (CPET, APET, PP) with strong recycled-content positioning. Direct overlap with CTCI's food packaging product line and shared circular-economy / sustainability narrative.
• Nelipak Healthcare Packaging: Specialty thermoformed packaging manufacturer for pharmaceutical and medical-device markets, including sterile-barrier trays and custom die-cut solutions. Directly comparable to CTCI's pharmaceutical packaging offering (vial wedging, saline bag shells).
• Linpac Packaging (now part of Korozo / Verstraete): European rigid and flexible packaging converter with thermoformed trays for food and non-food applications. Comparable custom thermoforming capability and customer verticals to CTCI, especially in handling/protective and food-grade categories.
• Plastipak Holdings: Global manufacturer of rigid plastic containers and recycled-content packaging with in-house resin recycling. Comparable to CTCI's vertically integrated thermoforming-plus-recycling model and serves food, beverage, and industrial customers.

Broad incumbents

• Huhtamaki: Global packaging incumbent with a substantial flexible and rigid plastics business, including thermoformed food service and protective packaging across Europe. Competes with CTCI in food, automotive-adjacent, and protective categories but at much larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Berry Global Group: Large global plastics packaging manufacturer with thermoformed and rigid products across healthcare, food, and industrial markets. Competes with CTCI for pharma and industrial tray customers but with global procurement, multi-country production, and broader product portfolio.
• Sonoco Products Company: Global diversified packaging manufacturer with thermoformed and rigid plastic operations serving food, industrial, and healthcare customers. Overlaps with CTCI in protective/handling and food-grade thermoformed packaging but with materially larger scale and global footprint.
