– Lezoux –

As every summer, the Saipol Lezoux site will carry out maintenance work during its annual shutdown period. This shutdown will take place from mid-July until the arrival of the new French sunflower seed harvest (during the first half of September).

This year, no major projects are planned; however, a few activities may generate noise, particularly in the area closest to Carrefour Market.

For information, a site visit for local residents will be organized on 2026/10/01. A fourth visit may also be arranged depending on the level of interest shown in the first three visits held earlier in the year. Further information is available on the webpage dedicated to registrations.

After a summer dedicated to numerous improvement projects, supported in particular by more than 250 external contractors, the Lezoux plant resumed normal operations in mid-September with the arrival of the new French sunflower seed harvest.

The weighbridge located on Allée des Chalards has been dismantled and the road surface has been resurfaced, restoring approximately 5 to 7 on-street parking spaces. A storage silo has also been demolished, which will ultimately help improve the management of our truck traffic flow and further reduce the risk of external disturbances.

Summer maintenance and improvement work has begun at the Saipol Lezoux plant, particularly from 2025/07/07 onwards.

Among the most visible activities planned are:

• The dismantling of the weighbridge located on Allée des Chalards, scheduled to take place during July;
• Resurfacing work on the roads providing access to the plant (Allée des Chalards and the Carrefour Market side), planned between mid-July and mid-August;
• Renovation of the roofs of a storage silo, also scheduled for July and part of August;
• Demolition of a storage silo, which is expected to take place during September.

Our industrial site at Place des Curins in Lezoux will shortly be undergoing major works.

The work, scheduled to start in April, is designed to modernise our facilities and make them more reliable, while anticipating changes in regulations and reducing the inconvenience caused by logistical flows around the site.

Site management has informed local residents near the plant about the work, and thanked them for their understanding in the face of any temporary inconvenience it may cause.
