Our strategic partners
To spread the production of IPAC® panels throughout the country in local distribution networks, BAT’IPAC relies on the industrial fabric of existing job-inclusion structures to deploy its low-tech production lines.
Based in Western France, Groupe Estille is:
- 19 IAE (Inclusion through Employment) structures
- 750 permanent employees
- Including 541 employees in inclusion
- 33.4 million in operating income in 2022
Why should we work with inclusion-through-employment companies?
- Shared SSE values with BAT’IPAC
- Creating inclusive jobs locally
- Land available for several production lines
- Flexibility of quickly available manpower
- Experience in industrial manufacturing
What is the best strategy for regional coverage?
- Groupe Estille will deploy its 1st IPAC® production line in 2024.
- In addition to its production activity as a subcontractor, Groupe Estille will be spreading its production model to other local job-inclusion companies via SSE networks.
- As a strategic partner, Groupe Estille acquired a stake in BAT’IPAC in 2023.
