Hinojosa has confirmed the creation of Hinojosa Folding Packaging France. Effective July 1, 2026, this new entity consolidates the French folding carton operations of ASV Packaging under a single brand. This development marks a new stage in Hinojosa’s growth in the French market, with a strengthened offering for its customers in the food and beverage and consumer goods sectors.
Furthermore, it combines the close relationships, responsiveness, and trust that characterise the teams from ASV Packaging with Hinojosa’s industrial capacity, innovation, and international support. This structure thus offers its customers the promise of a strong local presence combined with the long-term vision, financial stability, and sustainable investment capacity inherent in a family-owned company.
With Hinojosa Folding Packaging France, Hinojosa strengthens its presence in the French fibre-based packaging market and consolidates an already established position in France for its corrugated business: offering customers a credible, agile and local alternative to more centralised models.
This new organisation also provides enhanced support capabilities: an expanded industrial network, increased production resources, consolidated technical expertise and more direct access to innovations developed by Hinojosa.
To support this growth, Hinojosa Folding Packaging France has its own management team. The structure is headed by Xavier Freyermuth, Managing Director, and brings together the French sites specialising in the design and manufacture of cartonboard packaging.
This dedicated governance structure allows for the management of this activity with a specific approach, tailored to the needs of its markets and clients. It guarantees a more transparent, responsive organisation that is closer to the operational realities of the sector.
In France, Hinojosa now has a complementary industrial system consisting of seven production sites: a paper mill, three corrugated board sites and three sites specialising in folding carton, allowing the group to respond more broadly to the needs of French manufacturers.
Hinojosa Folding Packaging France primarily targets players in the food and consumer goods sectors, two sectors in which quality of service, responsiveness, industrial reliability and the capacity for innovation are essential.
Jean-Baptiste Favre, Managing Director, Hinojosa France, states, “For our customers, the essentials remain the same: they retain the same contacts, the same close relationship, and the same daily commitment. With Hinojosa Folding Packaging France, we are strengthening our ability to support them over the long term, thanks to a clearer organisation, enhanced industrial resources, and the stability of an international family-owned group committed to the long term.”
