Founded in 1954, Lafuma Mobilier has carved out a place for itself on the outdoor market by offering the first folding furniture, intended for camping and travel. Since then, the company has evolved its collections by promoting functionality, comfort and durability. It has just obtained the Living Heritage Company label for its know-how around tubes and stretched canvas.
Since its creation, Lafuma Mobilier has always chosen suppliers located for the most part within 150km of the industrial site, and strongly asserts its belonging to the region. This sustainable approach has also been recognized internationally, where the brand has strongly developed its turnover in recent years. Managing Director, Arnaud du Mesnil sees this EPV label as recognition of this commitment: “We are proud to obtain the EPV label: it rewards loyalty to our conviction to produce in France, and our know-how built and transmitted for more than 60 years with an ever more demanding quality approach. “ .
Grâce à des investissements réguliers, la marque dispose aujourd’hui d’un outil industriel moderne (cintreuse numérique 3D, machine à rétreint, cellules robotisées, cabine de peinture et traitement de surface…) qui lui permet de rester compétitif sur le marché concurrentiel du mobilier outdoor. Un positionnement fort qui s’est vérifié dans cette période troublée par le Covid-19, par des ventes qui se sont développées. En attendant, Lafuma Mobilier rejoint le club select de 1500 entreprises labellisées pour leur savoir-faire artisanaux et industriels d’excellence.
