MULTI-SECTOR EXPERTISE
SECTORS OF ACTIVITY
The great diversity of our clients over almost 50 years has taught us to keep improving and to adapt to every situation.
Our short lead times and the quality of our packaging are appreciated across many sectors.
Aeronautics
Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport is at the heart of European aeronautics logistics. As a leader in this field, Emballage SFE naturally made it a priority sector.
We regularly pack all types of components on behalf of manufacturers and MROs (drones, aircraft, gliders, helicopters, rockets, jet engines, etc.). Our teams are trained in the specific requirements of aeronautics standards (including FOD qualification).
We also work directly on the premises of freight forwarders and spare-parts stock managers to provide a high-level packaging service (regulated goods). This on-site service ensures maximum responsiveness and AOG-type services. We work for the world’s leading aeronautics companies.
Oil & Gas
We have served the major oil companies since our very beginnings, on all the major projects in this industry.
Our packaging withstands all the weight and strength requirements needed for shipments in the harshest conditions, by air as well as by sea.
We can also store components for consolidation or inspection while awaiting shipment.
Chemicals / Paint
These materials require secure packaging. Density, viscosity, temperature, nature of the risk, documentation: nothing can be left to chance.
We work for the leaders in this sector to guarantee full compliance of their shipments.
Constant regulatory changes often make it necessary to split shipments (particularly for liquid products) to meet ICAO standards and European security rules. We carry out the necessary decanting while preserving product purity.
Cable Drums / Reels
Cable drums and reels must be blocked and braced securely and solidly, given their weight and tendency to roll during take-off and landing. Our facilities allow us to handle all sizes and weights.
Mechanical Engineering
Steel tubes and bars, often long and flexible, require us to design special packaging that withstands weight and bending.
Construction & Civil Engineering
Cable drums and reels must be blocked and braced securely and solidly, given their weight and tendency to roll during take-off and landing. Our facilities allow us to handle all sizes and weights.
Industry
We handle shipping operations for all types of equipment, including:
- Automotive spare parts for regular shipments (mechanical parts, body parts, windscreens…)
- Delicate equipment: medical (scanners, ultrasound machines…), optical (lidar…), mechanical (turbines…)
- Industrial installations (packaging of assembly line components, corrosion protection, etc.)
- Automotive prototypes for exhibitions
Cosmetics
We work for the health and beauty industry on a very regular basis, both on behalf of freight forwarders and directly for shippers.
In particular, we handle shipments of:
- Regulated products (single formulation for air transport),
- Retail-ready consignments (ID 8000),
We can take care of their packing, repacking, relabelling for compliance, etc
Furniture / Antiques
Whether contemporary or antique, this fine furniture, often of great value, is always handled with precision.
The delicacy, fragility and variety of light fittings and mirrors require us to design sophisticated packaging that protects them as much as possible from all kinds of impacts.
We work in workshops and auction houses to wrap or pack items.
Luxury
We pack a wide variety of very high-value items for the entire luxury and interior design industry, including:
- Haute couture garments for fashion shows, trade fairs, events, VIP clients…
- Furniture and decorative pieces for export projects
- Tableware for exhibitions
We guarantee all the discretion this type of shipment requires. All operations are carried out with appropriate security guarantees (premises under video surveillance, background checks on all staff…).
Works of Art / Collectibles
The wide variety of artworks requires us to find solutions perfectly suited to their shape and fragility: from multi-tonne statues to stained glass, paintings or taxidermy. These objects are always unique and of great value, leaving no room for approximation.
We also pack all kinds of vehicles for our passionate clients: record-breaking, competition and collector vehicles.
We deliver the highest standards while working for all types of clients: from private individuals to the most prestigious French museums and specialised freight forwarders.
We can collect items from private homes, auction houses, artists’ studios, etc.
Live Animals
We build air transport crates for many types of animals, including:
- Livestock (horses, sheep, goats, pigs…), for which we offer single-use wooden stalls. Our catalogue includes many models to suit the constraints of each shipment:
- Hold size (cargo or passenger aircraft)
- Animal size and type
- Water troughs, feeders
- Ability to be transported disassembled
- Pets (dogs, birds…) and wild animals (big cats…), for which we build transport crates sized precisely for each specific case.
All the animals we pack are placed in solid, well-ventilated and spacious crates, with their comfort in mind and in strict compliance with current regulations.
Food
Perishable goods require a self-contained overpack capable of maintaining a defined temperature range throughout the entire transfer.
The type of packaging depends on the temperature range to be maintained: insulated crates for frozen products, insulated crates for fresh products, thermal covers…
We often pack this type of goods (sometimes in very large quantities) with data loggers to guarantee that the cold chain is maintained.
We can also store products while they await a flight and recharge refrigerant on our premises or in freight forwarders’ warehouses.
Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceutical products are overpacked in accordance with industry best practices.
All our staff are trained in Good Distribution Practice (GDP).
And more, all sectors in export freight.
