- Containers designed around the customer’s product
Rigolleau’s food range includes jars for coffee, olives, preserves and other uses. Its catalogue distinguishes designs and closures and offers tailored solutions. Customers buy packaging to protect and present food made by another company.

- Ampoules and vials with specific requirements
The Pharma division makes Type I borosilicate-glass ampoules and vials. Shape, neck and base follow customer specifications. This is a packaging specialism for the pharmaceutical industry; Rigolleau supplies the container, not the medicine.

Its place in Rigolleau
Rigolleau turns glass into containers and other products. Its activity connects energy-intensive industrial processes with customers needing to contain, protect or present their products.

Customers, operations & revenue
Rigolleau uses furnaces and forming processes to turn raw materials into glass containers and articles. Business customers need formats, strength and quality suited to their products and filling processes. Orders combine material value, industrial design and continuity of supply.
What shapes business performance
Furnaces require energy and maintenance, making utilisation important to unit costs. Container mix, efficiency, rejects and transport affect margins. Industrial orders and stock should be considered together: glass produced but not shipped consumes resources without generating immediate receipts.
