Strategic Evolution of GAP Plastom\u00e8re SARL within the Schauenburg Hose Technology Group<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Schauenburg Hose Technology Group develops, manufactures, and markets innovative hose and ducting solutions worldwide. In Europe, the Group operates three production plants in Germany, complemented by a site in France \u2014 GAP Plastom\u00e8re SARL, based in Mont\u00e9limar and part of the Group since 1994.<\/p>\n

The Schauenburg Hose Technology Group is aiming to strengthen its European organization to ensure greater efficiency, faster deliveries, and long-term competitiveness in a dynamic market environment. As part of this strategic reorganization, GAP Plastom\u00e8re SARL will, in 2026, evolve into a dedicated sales and logistic center for the French market.<\/p>\n

This development is part of the Group\u2019s broader European strategy.<\/p>\n

Leveraging Strengths to Drive Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within this new structure, the production of thermoplastic hoses will be consolidated at the Group\u2019s German manufacturing sites, while the production of stitched ducts will remain in Mont\u00e9limar. The objective of the Schauenburg Hose Technology Group is to align its manufacturing processes and products more closely with customer expectations while harmonizing them across the European Market.<\/p>\n

Going forward, GAP Plastom\u00e8re will ensure the continuity of sales and logistics for standard products in the French market. A major warehouse located in Mont\u00e9limar will enable shorter delivery times through a wide availability of standard products.
\nThe Schauenburg Hose Technology Group is also implementing integrated logistics solutions, supported by two central warehouses in Germany. This structure will allow for optimized stock management, faster order processing, and improved delivery performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis transformation is driven by a single goal: to serve our customers even better,\u201d<\/em>
\nstated Olivier Fichet, Managing Director of GAP Plastom\u00e8re SARL.<\/p>\n

Continuity and Commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sales team of GAP Plastom\u00e8re, with its strong technical expertise, will remain the main point of contact for all French customers, ensuring smooth communication with the production sites. This customer proximity along with a high level of service, coordinated from GAP Plastomere in France, will continue to guarantee optimal support \u2014 including tailored solutions for specific applications.<\/p>\n

For all customers outside France, the Group\u2019s dedicated export sales managers will take over.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Throughout this transition, our top priority remains the reliability of our service and the quality of our products, ensuring we continue to meet our customers\u2019 needs effectively.<\/p>\n

A Future-Oriented Evolution<\/strong><\/p>\n

This development further strengthens the Group\u2019s long-term position as a trusted partner in the field of flexible hose and ducting solutions.<\/p>\n

It also opens new perspectives through an expanded product portfolio, optimized European logistics, and an even more responsive approach to customer expectations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBy concentrating production where it is most efficient and by further developing our commercial and logistics structure in France, we ensure faster and more reliable service \u2014 and create the foundations for sustainable growth, both for our customers and for our Group,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

said Peter Endres, Co-CEO of the Schauenburg Hose Technology Group.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our sales team in Mont\u00e9limar, together with our regional and export sales managers, will contact our customers in the coming days to provide more details about this transition and its benefits.<\/p>\n
