SFPI: HISTORY OF AN INDUSTRIAL AMBITION The book celebrating 40 years of Sfpi Group
To mark its 40th anniversary, Sfpi Group wanted to look back on its history, its major stages of development, its transformations, and the women and men who have shaped it over the decades. This ambition gave rise to the book SFPI: History of an Industrial Ambition, created with the Mots-Clés agency.
More than an anniversary publication, this book is part of a broader commitment to transmission. It highlights an industrial trajectory, structuring choices, long-term commitments, and a corporate culture shaped over time. It also reveals what defines the identity of Sfpi Group: a development built on coherence, integrity, and loyalty, serving a long-term industrial ambition.
A book to keep the Group’s memory alive
Above all, this book is a collective story — a story built from shared perspectives, memories, and sincere testimonies.
It gives a voice to those who contributed to writing this adventure and helps better understand what shapes Sfpi Group’s identity today: an industrial ambition built with consistency, high standards, and fidelity to its values.
More than a memory archive, this book is a bridge between generations. It enables transmission, explanation, and inspiration for those who contribute today — and tomorrow — to the Group’s development.
A first milestone during the Group event in Cannes
The book was unveiled in January 2026 during the Group event in Cannes.
This “reveal” was more than a presentation. It was a way to share this work of memory with the teams, to place the journey accomplished within a collective dynamic, and to reaffirm that the Group’s story continues to unfold.
A reunion under the sign of transmission
On April 16, 2026, Sfpi Group brought together former employees, friends of the Group, and contributors to the book for a unique moment of reunion.
Nearly 60 former collaborators — most of them now retired — attended.
This gathering had a threefold purpose: to thank those who helped write the Group’s history and enrich the book, to share the latest developments and current trajectory of Sfpi Group, and to open a new dynamic around the Group’s memory.
The conversations were simple, sometimes emotional, often rich — and above all essential.
Because a company’s memory is not limited to archives. It lives through the people who built it.
