On October 26 and 27, the Élysée Palace opened its doors to nearly 9,000 visitors who came to discover the products of 122 French artisans and industrialists as part of the Great Exhibition of Made in France. Lacroix Emballages exhibited its renowned wooden tray. Selected from 2,200 applications, the project went through several stages of validation: department, regional committee, then national jury, before joining the prestigious exhibition.
A great recognition for the Jura company
It was the first time that Lacroix Emballages, which generally presents itself in a professional agri-food network, has benefited from such visibility among the general public.
« It's a real pride to say that we have one of our packaging which was selected by the department, the region, then by the Élysée », Confides Marie-Laure Maitenaz, Communications Manager of the company, recalling that the file was compiled in March-April 2024 and that the final response came in July. This exhibition therefore represents “ a great recognition of our wooden packaging, our know-how, our company which has existed since 1946 and our skills », she adds.
A product with environmental and local qualities
Made from poplar, a light wood from French poplar groves, some of which are located in Saône-et-Loire and which belong to Lacroix Emballages, the trays meet food safety standards and are naturally suitable for food contact. “ Poplar allows direct contact with food », underlines Marie-Laure Maitenaz, emphasizing the importance of promoting local resources.
