France INSEE Sirene / INPI RNE state register (annuaire-entreprises.data.gouv.fr)

What is established and what is not

No researcher review has been written for this company yet. 17 official records from 12 official sources are on file. 6 other entries are not official records: our own technical checks and searches, open directory listings, our inferences or the company's own statements. Everything is listed below with its evidence type: each entry confirms only what it literally says; none of them is a review. The manufacturing role above rests on the official records listed below, and only as far as each literally goes: a facility registration or licence is not an observation of current production. Nothing here confirms ownership or trading status beyond what each record literally says.

Facts on file, each with its evidence type

• Website domain registered (record type: domain-registered) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] Shows how long this web address has been registered. That is the age of the domain, not of the company: a domain can change owners. checked 2026-07-28. Domain registry record
• On the company register (record type: registered-since) [official record; status green] On the company register since 1979. Shows how long the company has been on the state register, which is hard to fake and easy to check. effective since 2026-08-01. INSEE SIRENE (Registre national des entreprises)

BODACC (annuaire-entreprises)

• EU customs identifier (EORI) active (record type: export-registered-eori) [official record; status green] An EORI number identifies the company to EU customs for imports, exports and transit.

• Mentioned in independent media (record type: media-mention) [our own observation, not an official record; status green] The press has written about it. A fact, not an endorsement. effective since 2026-07-14. lavoixdunord.fr

• EU VAT number valid for cross-border trade (record type: vat-valid) [official record; status green] The number is registered and active: we asked the EU VIES service and it answered yes.

• Places goods on the market (national producer register) (record type: places-goods-on-market; this record does not by itself establish manufacturing) [official record; status green] A state register lists this company as placing these goods on the market, as their maker or importer. By itself it does not show who makes them. checked 2026-10-15. Registre national des producteurs (ADEME/SYDEREP), France
• Organic certification in the state registry (record type: organic-certified) [official record; status green] Issued by an accredited body. We show the expiry date because a lapsed certificate proves nothing. checked 2026-10-15. EU organic operator register (TRACES NT), European Commission

Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)
• A state inspector visited the site, on the official record (record type: facility-inspected) [official record; status green] Inspected 2024-09-30.

Georisques, French register of classified installations (ICPE)
