A significant number of our products are classified as hazardous goods and are subject to regulations which are extremely strict and complex. In order to comply with these requirements and primarily to guarantee the security of our product users, we have developped a real expertness or as we say in french "savoir faire". The productions are meticulously and regularly inspected by our quality engineers. Our in-house laboratory tests the products and our warehouses are adapted to the logistic processes and the imposed drastic importation regulations.
Point-of-purchase items, mostly placed in the cashier areas represent our core business. The buying decision takes only a few seconds and the presentation of the objects and selling supports is key. These components play an important role in the customer's buying experience. Due to our expertise in retail sales we work efficently on packaging and merchandising in order to achieve the optimum attractiveness and easy readability of products and selling supports in our point of sales.
Since our beginnings we have decided to treat the process of design and creation in-house. Every item or display made by Polyflame has their own brand identity. An important added value, linked to the professional skills of our buying office, which allows us to develop unique items, perfectly adapted to the needs of each of our customers.

We offer our 1500 customers and the 50.000 stores we collaborate with a customized treatment: we focus on satisfying all needs in terms of business, logistics, legislations… A flexibility made possible due to a stict in-house commercial organisation.
