As he reflects on his journey, Didier Burban reminisces about the age of 22 when he embarked on a mission to collect used wooden pallets to recycle and resell them. Starting with just his van in Nantes, Burban’s growth trajectory has been beyond his wildest dreams. Today, he leads a company with 30 sites and 650 employees in France, including 180 in Loiret.
Burban’s family group is now one of the top five players in the market and likely the leading independent company. Over the past 35 years, the company has faced numerous challenges and successes. Burban notes that the pallet market often reflects the state of the economy, with fluctuations impacting the business. Despite experiencing a slowdown due to factors like the construction sector crisis, Burban remains optimistic about the future. While 2023 may see a decrease in turnover, Burban is already considering acquiring smaller companies this year and larger ones in 2025 to continue the company’s growth.
As he nears the age of sixty, Burban has no plans of stepping down anytime soon. “Time flies,” he remarks with a smile, envisioning himself at the helm of his company for another decade. The dedication and perseverance that have brought him this far will undoubtedly continue to drive the company forward into the future.
