An industrial group rooted in its territory

Un groupe industriel ancré sur son territoire

Since the acquisition of the Tarascon et Saint-Gaudens mills in 2010 from Tembec Group, the Fibre Excellence Group has operated independently, under the supervision of the Paper Excellence Group.
With its head office based in Labège, Fibre Excellence runs two pulp production sites (Fibre Excellence Saint-Gaudens and Fibre Excellence Provence) and two forestry subsidiaries, Enviroforesterie (forest management consulting) and Sebso (forestry harvesting).

It is the only national market pulp producer, with a production capacity of 560,000 tonnes per year and an objective of increasing it in the future. It also contributes to sustainable forest resource management with a proactive policy in favour of sustainable forest management: 85% of suppliers and 35% of the timber entering the factory are certified (PEFC® & FSC® international forestry certifications).

The total workforce is about 650 employees and contributes to about 10,000 indirect jobs in the timber industry.
In 2022, Fibre Excellence Group (French entities) had a turnover of €375 millions.
