RPE-OI, Ralph Communication, Bourbon Composites and Eurocanne : four new local industrial companies have joined the process, bringing to 40 the number of beneficiaries displaying Nou la Fé on all or part of their products.
The award requests from new companies were validated by the Nou la fé award committee on December 10, 2020. The six new brands add 160 references to the approximately 3,500 products already displaying the green logo identifying Reunion production. Indian Ocean Equipment Protection Meeting (RPE-OI) is a very young company created in 2020 and located in Saint-André. Subsidiary of the RVE group, it manufactures polypropylene non-woven fabrics by the extrusion process and produces personal protective equipment (EPI) from these fabrics. On its newly built site, it combines two activities : the production of raw materials and the manufacture of protections which include masks, overshoes, charlottes and surblouses, also in high demand during the current health crisis. Ralph Communication is a craft company from Saint-Gilles-les-Hauts specializing in printing on polyester fabric. She manufactures custom banners, pavilions and other interior and exterior signage elements. The supports are printed with non-polluting aqueous inks, then fixed by high temperature sublimation, before receiving a finish by a team of designers. The current health crisis, which saw the rise of fabric masks in which the company actively participated, raised a demand for logo masks for companies open to the public.
Four different business sectors
Bourbon Composites produces plastic equipment from resin and fiberglass. Completely damaged in 2015 during a fire, it moved forward again and today offers more than 60 products designed and produced in its Saint-Benoît workshop and marketed under three different brands, for the general public and professionals.

Eurocanne is the company of the Tereos Océan Indien group in charge of the storage and packaging of sugar produced by the Gol and Bois-Rouge sugar factories. Located at the Port, it has also been marketing Reunion sugar since 1989 to Reunion food production companies and supermarkets aimed at consumers..
