COREP: Bègles, France
Spotlights on Yale thanks to COREP
It was just south of Bordeaux, in the city of Bègles, where Alain Petit founded COREP in 1970.
The company, where Mr Petit still retains the role of CEO, is now known throughout France as a byword for decorative lighting. Employing around 250 people across their head office and three divisions in France, as well as three branches in India, Portugal and Ukraine, COREP has generated more than half of its production output over the past 40 years in its native France.
In December 2015, COREP relocated and then started to renovate and expand their production space. These renovations brought the capacity of the warehouse to 25,000m², with shelving up to 9.8m high. The factory, which is mostly automated, operates on a just-in-time basis, with a potential production level of over 10,000 units per day.
