NEWSLETTER GROUPE LEMOINE
June - July 2026
The first months of this year have driven a clear momentum across all our sites. We began 2026 with a structured vision for our corporate functions and factory roadmaps firmly anchoring focus, performance, and efficiency at the absolute center of our daily priorities. As a Group, our role is to build and develop these common standards so that every subsidiary can implement them successfully.
This standardisation is what strengthens our foundations, making our operations more agile and reliable regardless of external challenges.
Moving forward, our priority remains clear: maintaining a high level of execution in everything we do. This is the key to our industrial efficiency. To achieve this, every department must continue to optimize its practices, working in a more result-oriented and collective way.
Breaking down silos and building our operational success together is how we deliver long-term performance.
As the summer season arrives, sincere thanks go to everyone for the continuous engagement and hard work. For those about to take some well-deserved time off, the wish is for a restful and wonderful summer break. This is the perfect opportunity to recharge and return with renewed energy for the months ahead. Happy holidays to all!

A new milestone for #TeamLemoineGermany!
On May 11 at 10:00 a.m., months of planning, teamwork, and dedication culminated in a special moment: the official inauguration of our 8th DecoBox machine.
Manufactured by the Swiss company FALU, the machine was custom-built to meet our specific production requirements and is the last of its kind. It is almost identical to our Machine 7 and complements our existing production line perfectly. This investment increases our production capacity and enables us to respond even more quickly and flexibly to future customer demands.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Johanna, who joined us on behalf of the Group Management for the inauguration, for the trust placed in #TeamLemoineGermany and in our site. A special thank you also goes to everyone involved in the successful technical implementation of the project:
Jiri Kavan – Project Management
Frantisek Prochazka and Zdenek Rybka – for their commitment during the machine acceptance process in Italy
Martin Apeltauer, Stanislav Krejcar, Frantisek
Prochazka and Zdenek Rybka – for overseeing the technical implementation at our site
Following the official inauguration, the celebration continued in the break room, where colleagues came together to enjoy a selection of delicious cookies and mark this important milestone as one team.

�� BIODIVERSITY AT LMH FACILITY
This month, we’re sharing a project we’re incredibly proud of. Our production facility is home to 284 plant species and 41 mushroom species—numbers you’d normally expect to find in large nature reserves, not in industrial areas.
In collaboration with the plant working group of the KNNV-Epe-Heerde, we have developed targeted management measures to preserve this remarkable biodiversity. By maintaining high standards of care in operational areas and implementing extensive, nature-oriented management in surrounding zones, we are creating a thriving ecosystem right next to our facility.
Special thanks to Hans Keizer and our team for leading this valuable initiative.
MIDYEAR LMH TOWNHALL
On Friday, July 10th, LMH held its first 2026 town hall. It was a great opportunity to share what has been done since the beginning of the year, where LMH stands, and the trajectory for the coming six months—with clear targets and clear projects to move forward as One team

Operation Phishing: The Moment of Truth (and Action!)
Ready for a quick digital health check? From May 27 to June 2, we played the role of internal hackers by sending trapped emails to 255 of you. The goal? To measure our real-life reflexes. As of June 26, we've shifted into high gear with the launch of our continuous training program, Hucency.Let's take a closer look at the scores! ou "Here's what we learned
The Verdict of Our Crash Test ��
The takeaway is clear: with a 13% click rate on our fake emails, we are in the high-risk zone. Practically speaking, 71 people (more than one in four employees) fell for the trap. In the real world, just one of these clicks is enough to invite a ransomware attack to paralyze our plants.
The craziest part? What works best is simply our daily routine! The most successful traps were anything but spectacular:
Fake health benefits update: Our grand winner with 45% of clicks! ��
Fake WeTransfer document: 44% of clicks.
A surprise invitation to an annual performance review.
Behind the Scenes of Our Clicks ��️♂️
Analyzing this data revealed some valuable insights to help us protect ourselves better:
The Wednesday Slump: It's our busiest day... and by far the one where we click the most! When the pace picks up, vigilance naturally drops.
The Desk, a High-Risk Zone: 94% of clicks came from desktop computers. The action (and the danger) happens right at the heart of our operational processes.
A 100% Collective Challenge: Every site and every language across Groupe Lemoine is affected. We don't use these analyses to point fingers, but to strengthen our teamwork!
Your 3 Anti-Hacker Superpowers ��f♀��♂️
The IT Department deploys the technical shields, but our ultimate firewall is you and your judgment.
The Power of Doubt: Don't just trust the display name! Always verify the sender's actual email address.
The Power of Reporting: When in doubt, don't click! Use the phishing alert button. With a single report, you allow the IT Department to neutralize the threat for all your colleagues.
The Power of Keeping Cool: Double down on your vigilance on busy days. Urgency is a hacker's best friend!
Fall
2026
Goal: Zero Stress, 100% Reflexes ��
Our big challenge by September 30, 2026? Getting 100% of our teams on board with the Hucency adventure and driving our click rate below the 5% mark (the controlled risk zone). It's an ambitious goal for the fall, but our collective security depends on it. Ready to adopt the right reflex with every click?
MPP UPDATE
The competition is well underway, and the battle is raging between the different members of the group! The predictions have been intense, the banter is real, and the leaderboard is moving fast after every single match.
A huge congratulations to our TEMPORARY top 3 who are holding the leading positions right now!
But remember, nothing is set in stone yet!
Witj three matches left, a few exact scores or a perfectly placed x2 Bonus can completely turn the rankings upside down. One good day is all it takes to make a massive comeback and get yourself back in the race for the top prizes (the portable speaker, AirPods, and national jersey are still very much up for grabs).
Don't give up, keep locking in your predictions, and make sure to stay on top of the kickoff times!
TOP3 Winners will be contacted after the final!
