Based in Ussel, France, Panneaux de Corrèze was founded after three former managers purchased the ISOROY factory (with 93 employees) in 2015. One of the three buyers, Pascal Casanova, is now Managing Director and Head of Industry and Development. The plant was built in 1989 and equipped with a refiner provided by Sprout-Bauer, which later became a part of the ANDRITZ GROUP.
Panneaux de Corrèze has made it a priority to reduce electrical energy consumption. There were three key reasons for this decision:
In 2015, the new management changed the company’s strategy: Rather than replacing old parts with lowcost components, they opted for high-quality ANDRITZ solutions. The slight increase in cost is offset by the far greater benefits. The company’s main requirements were to increase manufacturing throughput, energy efficiency, and component service life.
The plant has been modernized over the years through a series of successive upgrades
