Corporate Social Responsibility
Herby Indsutrie has been in existence for over 70 years.
We are currently the only manufacturer of drying racks in France and we employ around one hundred people in Eure-et-Loir at our site in La Loupe.
Employee turnover is extremely low (<5%) and the long serving workforce (average experience = 15 years) is fully engaged and proficient. Our philosophy is to find solutions to keep in work employees in case of medical restrictions or handicaps.
Environmental matters
Dryers are products with a life span of +/- 10 years and are energy free, in contrast with electric laundry dryers.
Our products are manufactured in our factory in France which is located in the heart of the French market (Centre Val de Loire region), enabling us to efficiently manage transport costs. All waste is processed via approved recycling channels.
95% recyclable
The steel, plastic and packaging materials used in our dryer manufacturing are all fully recyclable.
Recycled material
Steel and packaging materials used are predominantly recycled material and Herby is also currently starting to use recycled plastic material for its injection molding process.
100% plastic recycling
All the process scrap from plastic injection molding is reused and recycled.
Our partners
For over 25 years, our loyal customers have been mainly large-scale food and DIY companies.
We also supply the e-commerce industry with unit packaging.
Over the last 10 years we have progressively developped our export activities and 20% of our turnover is now export based, principally in Northern Europe. We deliver Private solutions in Europe to Blokker in the Dutch market and also the Kingfisher group.
