Groupe Guillin S.A. is a European manufacturer of food packaging solutions, specializing in thermoformed plastic and cardboard packaging. The company's business model centers on providing hygienic and protective packaging that extends the shelf life of fresh foods. Groupe Guillin generates the vast majority of its revenue (approximately 94%) from its packaging segment, which supplies plastic and cardboard trays, clamshells, cups, lids, and plastic sheets to food processors, bakeries, fruit and vegetable packers, and supermarkets. The remaining revenue (approximately 6%) comes from packaged delivery equipment, including reheating ovens, food distribution carts, and washing chambers, primarily sold to hospitals and institutional caterers. Geographically, France is the company's largest market, accounting for roughly 40% of sales, followed by the United Kingdom, Italy, and other European countries. The company competes on its extensive product catalog of over 25,000 references, rapid delivery capabilities, and a focus on circular-economy solutions, including the use of recycled PET (rPET) and compostable materials.
