LISI ANNUAL REPORT 2009
LISI COSMETICS has been hit hard by the brutal slide
in sales in the select perfume sector. For 2009, its sales
volume has dropped more than 29%. We have reacted
quickly with the necessary measures, optimizing our
infrastructure in reaction to the prevailing conditions.
Several projects initially planned in 2009 were
confirmed at the beginning of the year, which allows
us to envisage a return to equilibrium in 2010.
RENOVATION OF THE NOGENT-LE-
PHAYE PLANT
The construction of a new building
in accordance with the LISI Group
Charter allowed us to optimize flows
and improve automation. The injection,
design and assembly workshops have
been organized into ‘islets’ to improve
flexibility and facilitate the coordination
of line operations. A 3.2 ton mobile crane
takes care of lifting and handling moulds
and equipment from the maintenance
platform to their installations on the
press. The press area has been partially
renovated. It is adapted to manufacture
medium and large series with a capacity
of up to 420 tons. Over 85% of assemblies
are done on automated machines with
6 degrees of freedom in their robot arms.
