The damage caused by cyclone Belal did not prevent, very fortunately, a return to school in good conditions in Reunion. In all schools, the Clairefontaine notebooks have been reopened… For us too, at Leader Meeting, the start of the school year is under the sign of Clairefontaine. Not only with Clairefontaine notebooks and Rhodia blocks, that we use to take notes, but with the CEO of the Clairefontaine-Rodhia group in person : Guillaume Nusse. Came to visit its distributor in Reunion for thirty years, Mollan and Son, Guillaume Nusse was kind enough, exclusively, retrace for us the history of the famous notebook and explain to us how Clairefontaine remains a company that is unlike any other in its sector of activity, stationery. A company aware of the emotional connection, woven in childhood, which links it to the entire French population. The relative decline of paper compared to digital ?
Clairefontaine observed this and was able to react by developing art stationery and creative hobbies. We also discover, with his director, Ilyaas Mollan, the historic distributor of school supplies in Reunion, Mollan and Son, who celebrated his 50th birthday last year. Ilyaas Mollan explains to us why playing such a big role in supplying Reunion students with quality school supplies is a responsibility.. The excellent Réunion notes from Clairefontaine apply just as much to Mollan et Fils. It's still about children, in this back-to-school issue of Leader Réunion, with Pamine, innovative company that we have chosen to highlight in our section “Reunion, research and development laboratory”. It seems to us, indeed, that musical cuddly toys with a cultural vocation, raising awareness of threats to biodiversity, are examples. New businesses, new products, innovations, projects… The coming year promises to be full of news, starting with the StratCo Run 2024 conference, which will be held on September 26 in the presence of a first exceptional guest in the person of Xavier Terlet, director of innovation at SIAL. To discover in this back-to-school issue of Leader Réunion.
