GLOBAL BRANDS THAT ARE ALREADY LEADERS IN THEIR MARKET SEGMENTS
As the world leader in all its businesses, Chargeurs has strong B2B brands in
each of its market segment which are recognized by a global and diversified
customer base.
Each of the Group's brands - such as Novacel, Boston Tapes, Lainière de
Picardie, PCC, DHJ, Bertero, Senfa, Leach, Chargeurs Wool., etc. - enjoys a
strong reputation for innovation, quality, reliability, service and commitment.
Added to this reputation is a culture of technical sophistication disseminated
by all employees throughout the Group, which makes all its products and
services absolute standards of excellence and must-haves along customers' value
chains.
A NEW STRATEGY CENTERED ON ICONIC, HIGH-ADDED VALUE BRANDS
As part of the Game Changer Program, Chargeurs has decided to consolidate its
brand portfolio by business line, and to offer products and services as
diversified as today's, with a view to:
- Strengthening and streamlining its marketing offering to customers;
- Beefing up relationships with each customer and the "brand world" of each
business line, in order to provide a continuously enriched outstanding
experience;
- Increasing combined sales of products from several business lines -
cross-selling;
- Intensifying the digital environment of each brand;
- Emphasizing the exceptional nature of the Group's products and services
This augmented marketing strategy, which began to be implemented for each
business line and is due to be ramped up in 2019, will enable each business to
firm up its preferred relationships with customers, improve its product mix and
consolidate its profitability profile over the medium and long term.
