PROFILE |
 |
Unlike others who piously claim otherwise, La Rochette would like you to know that it fully intends to paper things over, because that's its business. The company's two main business segments produce packaging (boxes, containerboard, and corrugated board packaging) and the wood pulp used in standard paper products (brochures, books, tissue, and office stationery), specialty papers, and packaging paper. Founded in 1896, La Rochette sells most of its products in Europe (more than 95% of total sales), with the bulk of that coming from France (70% of total sales). French banks BNP Paribas and Crédit Agricole control 30% and 24% of La Rochette's voting shares, respectively.
