Expedition – the stages<br />
From Soissons<br />
to the whole country<br />
The small town of Soissons, with its 30,000 inhabitants, is home to the headquarters of TRD Inox.<br />
From here the company sells long products made of stainless steel to France.<br />
The warehause and the administrative building of TRD Inox in Soissons<br />
TRD Inox was founded in Soissons,<br />
50 km northwest of Reims,<br />
the capital of Champagne, in 1987<br />
by the Belgian family Lambrecht,<br />
who had already es tab lished<br />
Cotubel, Noxon and Asadin. The<br />
company was founded as a sales<br />
channel and was the exclusive<br />
The administrative building at the TRDinox location<br />
supplier of welded stainless steel<br />
pipes and fi ttings to the French<br />
retail sector. In the course of time<br />
the product range was expanded<br />
and the customer port folio extended<br />
by end consumers, who<br />
today account for approx. 80 % of<br />
sales. New sales offi ces were also<br />
added, one in Saint Nazaire near<br />
Nantes – in the immediate vicinity<br />
of the largest French ship yard, in<br />
which Queen Mary II was built. In<br />
early 2000 another subsidiary was<br />
founded in Lyon. Today the company<br />
has its headquarters in Soissons<br />
and subsidiaries in Meyzieu,<br />
near Lyon, and in St. Nazaire.<br />

Time brings changes<br />
Although the company is relatively<br />
young, TRD Inox has already<br />
expe rienced many changes. Six<br />
years after its foundation, it was<br />
taken over by Marcegaglia before<br />
be ing incorporated into the IMS<br />
Group in 2006 and thus integrated<br />
into Hub France. In 2010 IMS<br />
was then taken over by Jacquet<br />
Metals. TRD Inox was initially labelled<br />
Stainless Tubular Solutions.<br />
In recent years the company’s<br />
product range has changed. Up to<br />
June 2011 above all welded and<br />
seamless stainless steel pipes,<br />
elbows, fl anges and other fi tt ings<br />
were stored. In addition, the company<br />
ATR, which at that time was<br />
also based in Soissons and acted<br />
as a division of TRD Inox, sold a<br />
wide range of welded boiler pipe<br />
segments made of engineering<br />
steel. However, in September<br />
2011 ATR was dissolved and the<br />
warehouse stock was sold.
