GATINE

Located in France in the Yvelines department, 50km west of PARIS, GATINE has a distinct advantage as this region has strong development potential and a big influence in France and throughout Europe.

The Company is close to its market, which is a real plus, as we can supply our customers quickly.

GATINE specialises in the transformation of cardboards and plastics. GATINE designs and manufactures all types of tubes and stoppers in cardboard and plastic.

We put our experience at your service in the design and manufacture of small, medium and large series associated with the development of new applications. Our finishing workshop will handle the ancillary work and any special jobs.

A new creative idea, a qualitative improvement, a better product presentation most often requires R&D. So, our experienced team will give you their full attention at each production phase.
