The PME* network: a key advantage of the Lacq area complex

The development of CHEMPARC today is the fruit of a number of key advantages. Its future is assured if we can continue to profit from these factors:

  • An exceptional industrial tradition for an area which was an agricultural region until quite recently.
     

  • Experience of working with risks firmly established in local companies after 50 years of natural gas extraction and chemical industry.
     

  • An exceptional level of acceptability by local population and authorities for industries which cannot always claim to have a good image.
     

  • The presence of world class industrial companies: market leaders which help each other out to solve everyday local problems.
     

  • Effective cooperation between all the economic forces in the region: industry, local government, administration, trade unions and local associations.

But, amongst all these advantages, there is one which needs to be highlighted: the network of small and medium sized companies (PMEs) working in the Lacq area. This is one of the key forces behind the continuing economic development of CHEMPARC.
The PME network operating in the Lacq area represents more than half of industrial employment and the number of employees continues to grow.
It is made up of companies with a wide variety of size and origin :
• local branches of large national groups,
• major local companies,
• very small companies (TPE) working in specific domains.
This unusually rich and varied network can reply to all industrial needs.

* PME (Petites et Moyennes Entreprises): Small and medium sized companies, working often as sub-contractors for industrial organisations.
