Socoplan, the sampling division of the French Ileos Group, and the network of five companies worldwide—Socoplan & Biopack (France), Flexpaq (USA), Flexasia (China) and Socopol (Poland)—have combined to become Bioplan. The new brand symbolizes the federation of all of the companies, while honoring the values of each one and maintaining their individual local image. The brand name Bioplan is based upon the history of the companies: Biopack was founded in 1989, and acquired in 2008 by Ileos. Socoplan was founded by M. Planchard in 1970, and acquired by Ileos in 1988. There is also a new company logo.
