Orapi manufactures and packages industrial hygiene liquid products and as a general rule, produces small quantities of hydroalcoholic gel. Over the last few weeks the medium-sized Lyon-based company, which has 1 100 employees and several subsidiaries in Europe and as far afield as Singapore, has massively reorganized its Saint-Vulbas flagship plant near Lyon to produce this disinfectant which is strategic in fighting the Covid-19 epidemic. Orapi has increased its production capacity ten-fold by running seven packaging production lines seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
