  • The Société Coopérative Ouvrière Provençale de Thés et Infusions (SCOP TI) was created following the closure of the Fralib factory by the Unilever group.

  • The "1336" tea brand promotes the manufacture of high-quality local products, highlighting the know-how of a region.
  • The factory produces 200 tonnes of infusions and teas. It has the capacity to produce up to 6,000.
