WIMBÉE,
a family business
WIMBÉE is a family business created in 1924 that has adapted to the changes in the packaging world in order to always respond positively to its clients. The two words that represent the company best are respect and innovation.
Company
history
Creation of the first 100% machineable cardboard cap for aerosols. This product allows to divide by 4 the greenhouse gas emission compared to a plastic cap.
It is also an innovation when it comes to marketing as it can be personalised with pictures or text.
In the midst of COVID, with the support of the Ile de France region, WIMBÉE mass produced hand sanitizer bottles, allowing our clients to supply hospitals and other actors of the pharmaceutical industry.
Some of WIMBÉE’s main clients chose, at that time, to internalise their means of production.
WIMBÉE therefore had to adapt to the supply and demand in the packaging industry and developed the “cardboard and cylinder” business in order to become the European reference for ice-cream lids.
Consumption habits changed and thus, the demand for plastic packaging exploded.
WIMBÉE developed its plastic department in order to satisfy the increase in consumption.
Mr WIMBÉE, an “Arts et Métiers” engineer, grand-father of the current directors, created the company.
Production and sales of cardboard packaging. Creation of their own manufacturing tools.
