Roussillon chemical plant was founded in 1915 for war supplies which could not be produced in the Saint-Fons plant, the cradle of the Rhône-Poulenc company. The site chosen offered so many advantages that it has always been used since then, but with different ends. After breaking a way from the mother plant in Saint-Fons, the Roussillon factory has become a well integrated unit for forty years (1926-1966) , but in two very competitive sectors : plastics and textiles. The last fifteen years have been less favourable. At present a recovery may be expected considering the value of site and the investments undertaken close by : a hydroelectric plant made by the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône and Saint-Alban-Saint-Maurice nuclear power station.
