Sales Managers’Team Building 2019

Efficiency – this is what La Rose Noire continually aims to improve this year. At the start of 2019, La Rose Noire’s Global Distributors and Sales Managers attended the Sales Managers Conference and Team Building held at La Rose Noire Factory in the Philippines. All guests were warmly greeted at the start of the conference by the passionate pâtissier, boulanger, confiseur, LRN founder and chairman, Chef Gérard Dubois. The event was packed with team building activities, social and corporate responsibility engagements, educational trainings – such as learning the basics of “Hand Crafted” products, a deeper understanding of the process in making chocolate and of course, a 1st glimpse of La Rose Noire’s new products for 2019.

Featured Premium Ingredient:La Rose Noire French Flour

The quality and type of flour is an essential component in producing delicious and world-class pastries and breads. Using only the finest ingredients sets our products apart from the rest.

La Rose Noire products are made with high grade type French Flour. From french wheat that is a bit dark in color, the French classification for Flour is based on the amount of ash that is left after exposing 10kg of flour at 600º C furnace. Ash remains is collected and weighed-in to check the type of flour it belongs to. For T65 Flour, the amount of ash it leaves after the process weighs about 65 grams, a bit dark flour because of a high leftover of bran (outer skin of the grain).

T65 Flour is best suited for baguettes and artisan breads, which gives a light open textured loaf with a crisp crust. Another important ingredient that contributes to La Rose Noire products’ exceptional quality.

The drive to lesser carbon footprintLa Rose Noire has always endeavored to deliver the best products with the best quality to all our customers around the world. This enabled us to arrive at a leader position in the market as we strive to always improve ourselves since our founding in 1991. As we grow and develop ourselves, our sense of responsibility to the community also grows.

Environmental concern is nowadays a common topic, and, over the last few years, we have been studying and evaluating how we can minimize our carbon footprint on the environment as a manufac-turing company. In addition to the charity projects that we promote every year as a way of contributing and giving back to society, we also want to have a positive influence on our environment, doing our part as a responsible multinational corporation.

One way to do this is to delvelop alternative materials that will have lesser carbon footprint on our environment.

Our packaging (in terms of weight) contains about 55% Bio-Degradable, and 45% Non-Biodegradable materials. Out of the 45% Non-Biodegradable, 70% of which, is our trays. These trays play a vital role in keeping our products intact, minimizing breakage from packaging, transport, and handling.

For years, we have been researching to come up with solutions to improve our packaging not withstanding our role in preserving mother nature.

In pursuit of the company’s constant innovation, La Rose Noire is proud to launch its very own Bio-Degradable trays. These trays are composed of Poly Lactic Acid (PLA), PBAT (butyleneadipate-co-terepthalate) and Talc Powder. PLA is formed from fermented plant. PBAT is a substance considered fully biodegradable due to butylene adipate groups present on its properties. And Talc came as a result from the metamorphism of magnesium minerals, which is also known as baby powder. This innovation is part of the company’s commitment to “Go for Green” - a direction LRN is taking to have a greener life and a greener environment. The use of this Bio-Degradable trays will have a great impact in the environment where biodegradation occurs faster on these trays vs ordinary plastic.

These trays have already been slowly introduced in our various product offerings this 2019.
