A European leader in the folding carton, rigid box, and label markets

Alain and Suzanne Autajon started their business manufacturing folding cartons for pharmaceutical use in Montélimar (Rhône Valley, France). The Autajon company was taken over by their son Gérard Autajon in 1992.

The company is expanding its business into the Perfumes & Cosmetics markets.

The Autajon Group enters the wine and spirits market, laying the foundations for its expertise.

A brand new site is opening in Montélimar: Autajon Packaging Montélimar CS. The site is entirely dedicated to the production of packaging for the luxury market.

Autajon is expanding its range with the launch of rigid boxes, combining artisanal expertise and process mastery.

The integration of the Saint-Étienne-based company Haubtmann complements Autajon’s business with the production of POS advertising and cardboard packaging for the automotive, textile, and confectionery sectors.
