1950
PLATEX, Swiss manufacturer of trays, decides to open a warehouse, and soon after a factory on the French side of the border.
PLATEX France settles down in "Les Fourgs" near Pontarlier, 10 km away from the head office. PLATEX was born. Its first objective was the manufacturing of trays in laminated wood veneer for the growing foodservice market ...
PLATEX Swiss sells its French subsidiary to its manager; both companies split. PLATEX France is going to develop until 1984.
1984
In a difficult economy context, PLATEX goes bankrupt.
PLATEX is taken over by Mrs Neiman who, with a new team, turns around and develops the company.
In 1985 two competitors are taken over, bringing an invaluable know-how to PLATEX. In a price sensitive market, PLATEX will make the most complete range of trays, centered on the quality, the service and the manufacturing flexibility.
