April 13, 2018 - France

Ideal Fibres & Fabrics Comines (IFFC), a subsidiary of the Belgian Beaulieu International Group of companies leading in cellulosic fibres, has been awarded the Textile Industry award, which is one of the Trophies of the Industries of Hauts-de-France. The award ceremony took place on March 29, 2018, at the Cite des Echanges of Marcq en Baroeul in France.

Michiel Leys, manufacturing manager for Europe and general manager of the production site, and Loïc Derôme, operations manager at IFCC, attended the ceremony and received the prize in person. These trophies reward companies who are selected by trade and pooling associations based on their exemplary performance, innovations, and achievements in an area of specialty which is different each year.

IFFC’s production site has been based in the North since 1993 and manufactures high quality polypropylene and polyamid-based textured yarns for applications in the automotive, and commercial and residential building sectors.

Loïc Derôme, operations manager at IFCC said, “We regularly invest in technology on the one hand, and in safety, security, and working conditions on the other. For the past two years, we have invested more than €1 million and, this year, we are in the process of further developing our manufacturing resources to meet the technical needs of the market and to increase the safety of our site.”

With 185 people working on four plants on the French site, IFFC has created a dynamic work environment where self-initiative and innovation are strongly encouraged. (GK)
