About VPK Granulés Normandie

VPK Granulés Normandie is the latest initiative within the VPK Group. With over 90 years of experience in sustainable packaging materials, we are expanding our commitment to a circular economy by investing in renewable energy. From our site in Alizay, in the heart of Normandy, we produce 120,000 tons of wood pellets annually. These are locally produced from various wood streams (roundwood, wood chips, sawdust), dried using residual heat from our production process. 

The new pellet plant contributes to: 

  • The reuse of industrial residual flows
  • A low-carbon energy supply for other VPK sites 
  • Promoting sustainable forest management in the region
