OUR HISTORY

The Bucaille family started each of their Emeraude companies because of their passion for creating links between people. In 1986, Emeraude, the polymer business was created. In only three decades, the company has successfully managed to grow from a simple import-export company to an internationally recognized polymers distributor.
