SUMMARY
France is currently the third largest European market for packaging machinery.
Since 1998, the French packaging machinery market has grown at a steady rate
of 4 to 5 percent.
The French packaging machinery industry is primarily composed of small and
medium-sized companies which are highly specialized. The French market is
currently characterized by an increasing demand for flexible, versatile and
automated machinery.
In terms of market structure, the majority of imports to France are from the
European Union, although imports from the Unites States and Japan are
relatively significant. In 1999, US products represented 5 percent of total French
imports. French exports are primarily to other European Union nations, while the
U.S. is one of the main non-EU markets for French packaging machinery.
France is relatively receptive to imports as long as they comply with European
and French standards and regulations. However, market conditions for US
companies has recently become quite challenging, given the high value of the
dollar vis-a-vis the French franc and the Euro.
A. MARKET HIGHLIGHTS & BEST PROSPECTS
* Market Profile
France, with USD 819 million is the third largest market for packaging machinery
in Europe after Germany and the U.K, and before Italy.
In 1998, the market started to stabilize with a 3.8 percent increase that year after
two years of exceptional growth of 18 and 13 percent respectively in 1996 and
1997. The reasons for the slowdown beginning in 1998 are that, first and
foremost, large investments were made in those two years. Additionally, in spite
of a favorable general economic environment and low interest rates, the food and
beverage industry -- which accounts for 55 percent of the output for the
packaging machinery -- had reached a maturity stage and was growing by less
than two percent. Finally, the high degree of concentration in downstream
industries (food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals) had resulted in price
cuts and lower margins.
The slower trend should continue until 2001. Forecasts predict an average 5
percent growth over the next two years. This is supported by the fact that
consumption should remain high and that older machinery will be replaced in
order to improve production and efficiency in a more competitive environment.
Also, the growing demand for recyclable and environmentally friendly packaging
material now favors the development of new technologies.
It should also be noted that although France is still behind compared to the U.S.
in Internet use, the Internet is rapidly advancing in France. In addition, ecommerce, both B2B and B2C is rapidly taking hold. As a reflection of this trend,
during the second half of 1999, the French wholesaler and distributor Lymac
launched a portal site www.ips-world.com. It showcases thousands of packaging
machinery products and is a unique gateway to the whole packaging and
wrapping industry.
* Statistical Data

* Best Sales Prospects
There is increasing demand in the market for versatile and flexible machinery
permitting quick changeover and handling a wider variety of materials,.
Packagers are demanding more automated, efficient and cost effective
machinery. Therefore, for all applications, industry is looking for machinery
incorporating computerized systems and robotics.
B. COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
* Domestic Production
The French packaging machinery industry is comprised of close to 170 small and
medium-sized companies employing a total of 3,600 employes, all of which are in
fact highly specialized businesses. Average employment is less than 20
employees per company, although 56 companies have over 20 people.
The major French manufacturers of packaging machinery are Arcil, Cermex,
Hema Technologies, Kalix, Meca-Plastic, MEE, PMA, Remy Equipement,
Sabatier, Serac, Sidel, Thimon, and Zalkin.
The leading manufacturing regions are the greater Paris area, the greater Lyon
area, Burgundy and the central part of France, which together account for about
60 percent of the total market.
Production in 1999 was valued at Euro 714 million (USD 765 million), 4 percent
above 1998. Since 1998, the growth of domestic production has mainly been
fueled by exports. This trend should be confirmed in the years ahead as France's
extra-EU exports should grow, thanks to the weak Euro.
In 1999, E.U. markets represented 37 percent of French exports, among which
the U.K. accounted for 8.6 percent, Germany 7.2 percent, the Benelux 5.1
percent, Spain 4.5 percent, Italy 4.3 percent and The Netherlands 3.6 percent.
With 5.5 percent each of French exports, the U.S. and China are the main extraE.U. markets for France.
*Third-Country Imports
For many years, France has recorded a trade deficit in the packaging machinery
sector. France relies heavily on imports, which represent close to 60 percent of its
total market. In 1999, it imported USD 526 million worth of packaging machinery,
an increase of 4 percent compared to 1998. About 82 percent of France's imports
originate from European Union member-states. Two countries, Germany and
Italy, account for more than 60 percent of total imports.
Non-E.U.countries with significant presence in the French market are
Switzerland, the United States and Japan.

* U.S. Market Position
U.S. manufacturers of packaging machinery export about 20 percent of their
production and hold a 4 percent share of the French import market. U.S.
companies mainly export control systems, labeling and marking equipment,
wrapping/forming/cutting machinery, and multi-packaging machinery to France,
some 4.8% of total imports. The appreciation by almost 40 percent of the dollar
versus the French Franc and the Euro over the last two years will considerably
hurt U.S. competitiveness. Even though the United States now ranks before
European countries such as Spain, the U.K., the Netherlands and Sweden in
terms of imports into France, the exchange rate of the dollar vis-a-vis the Euro
and the French franc will make it very difficult for American firms to maintain
market share.
Given the current exchange rate and economic environment, U.S. companies
could be in a position to make acquisitions at little cost in Europe and/or subcontract and assemble part of their production in Europe in order to maintain
competitive ness and market share.
The U.S. brands present in the French market through distribution include
Automated Packaging Systems, Douglas, Marsh, Nimco, Shanklin, Shrinkfast,
and TMC. U.S. Companies with a subsidiary include Markem, Mead, Norson, and
Val Cincinnati.
C. END-USER ANALYSIS
Major end -users are the food and beverage industry which accounts for close to
two-thirds of the output for packaging machinery. The pharmaceutical, cosmetics,
and personal care products represent about 15 percent and the chemical sector
10 percent.
Many large food groups, such as Danone and Nestlé, are vertically integrated.
Even more, some of them have invested in packaging machinery-manufacturing
companies. For instance, Danone is the owner of Arcil, which is known for its use
of sequential technology in production.
Major manufacturers of packaging containers are Cebal, Sealed Air, Toray and
Valois, for plastics packaging; Altis, Beynel and Seguin Moreau, for wood
packaging; Carnaud Metalbox, Continental Can, Crown Cork Company, Impress
Metal Packaging and PLM, for metal containers; St Gobain Emballage and
Champagne Emballage, for glass containers.
The large majority of end-users are small and medium -sized companies involved
in the production of packaging. There are over a thousand companies whose
main activity is the manufacturing of packaging and containers.
D. MARKET ACCESS
* Import Climate
The import climate in France for packaging machinery is, in general, excellent.
Even though most of the imports originate from the E.U., and in particular from
Germany and Italy, non-E.U. countries such as Switzerland, the U.S. and Japan
are well established. However, the current high value of the dollar favors
European exporters.
There are no significant trade barriers for packaging equipment. However, U.S.
firms must export products that adhere to EU and French regulations and that
meet certain standards.
To obtain the list of applicable standards for a product, one should contact the
national French standards association, AFNOR.

Since 1995, packaging machinery must be in compliance with the European
Union Machinery Directive. This directive sets out safety requirements for all
machinery as well as hygiene requirements for machinery used to package food.
The compliance requirements in the machinery directive entitles manufacturers to
carry the CE mark of approval on their machines. (CE stands for "Conformité
Européenne" -- which means European Conformity). CE marking is a selfcertification process by which a company, including a non-EU company, needs
to:
1) Draw up a (E.U.) declaration of conformity (in French for France);
2) Affix the "CE" marking on machinery;
3) Publish a technical construction file and instruction ha ndbook in French.
Once affixed with the CE mark, the machinery can enter the EU market and the
member-states cannot refuse entry of machinery to their markets.
The CENTEC 146 EC safety standards, as well as the electromagnetic
compatibility directive for electrical equipment, are also relevant to the packaging
machinery.
Legally, the product manufacturer is liable for the product. However, the importer
or distributor can also often be liable for any defects or complications with
imported products. Therefore, dealers are generally adamant that all U.S.
products comply with French and E.U. standards.
* Customs duties
Non E.U.-imported products are subject to import duties. For products under all
HS codes beginning with 8422 the rate is 1.7 percent on the C.I.F. (EU port of
entry) value. Apart from these duties, the French Value Added Tax (VAT) for
machinery is of 19.6 percent, which is the standard VAT rate applied to a wide
range of products in France.

* Distribution/Business Practices
The most common means of distribution for packaging machinery in France is
through an agent or distributor. Agents and distributors in France frequently
require exclusivity.
Foreign firms that are committed to the French market can also establish a
commercial subsidiary or manufacturing facilities in France, which offers certain
advantages in terms of competitiveness, proximity to the market and better
control over distribution and sales.
* Financing
Payment is received from clients within an average of 85 days, close to the
maximum industry standard of 90 days. Requesting payment at 60 days is often
acceptable in the case of international transactions. All standard international
means of payment may be requested from French clients, depending on the
relationship and the financial strength of the purchaser. Using a documentary
credit with a new client is highly recommended. However, when the seller and
buyer have established a relationship of trust or when an agent or distributor
agreement is signed, and after a credit rating has been established, terms of
payment can be changed and broadened.
* Assistance in the French market
Programs available through the Commercial Service of American Embassies
worldwide offer an excellent way for U.S. firms to enter French markets. For a
nominal fee, the Gold Key Service, for example, provides scheduled
appointments with qualified and pre-selected French firms that maximize the
opportunity for the success of U.S. exporters in the host country. Commercial
Service trade specialists accompany
business visitors on all calls, help analyze the results of the meetings, and
develop a campaign to take advantage of opportunities in the local market.
