The birth of an idea
Claude Chéneaux and Pierre de Reynal embarked on their entrepreneurial journey in Fort-de-France, driven by a bold vision. They began by importing construction materials and automobile parts, addressing the needs of a rapidly developing island. Their meeting marked a decisive turning point: together, they founded CCPR, which remains the cornerstone of the Groupe Pierre de Reynal, and introduced Goodyear tires to the local market.
Gradually, the company expands into exports and ventures into the trade of rum and coffee, which quickly gain fame beyond the island's borders. Their passion for agriculture leads them to explore a new sector: banana production. This successful bet solidifies the Group's position at the crossroads of import-export and agricultural wealth. The expansion continues with the company's establishment in French Guiana, marking a new phase in its development.
Continuous growth
At the dawn of the 1970s, the Pierre de Reynal Group embarked on a decisive turning point. After being highly active in specific sectors, the group successfully made a significant shift by creating companies specialized in various fields. Home appliances, sewing machines, office equipment, tires, and even banana exports were entrusted to new companies that would carry on the entrepreneurial legacy of the Group, each in their own way. This decision allowed Pierre de Reynal to refocus his efforts, transforming the company into a central pillar, a true conductor overseeing the development of all the now-autonomous entities.
In this new era, the Group explores a rapidly expanding field: IT and printing. The integration of JCB Office Supplies marks a turning point, creating a technological hub in the heart of the Caribbean. Meanwhile, CCPR Printing Company takes off, strengthening the Group's offering in the printing and visual communication sector. In Martinique, Guadeloupe, and French Guiana, office supplies and printing services are modernized, driven by the rise of IT and advanced printing solutions. The Group continues to innovate, with a desire to stay at the forefront, always ready to take on new challenges.
