Local manufacturing and Made in France to reduce our carbon footprint

Manufacturing in France significantly reduces carbon footprint thanks to local production, shorter transport distances and a cleaner energy mix. Locally manufactured products generate around half the CO2 emissions of those produced in distant countries such as China, mainly due to shorter transport distances and the energy used in French factories.

Responsible, sustainable and recyclable materials

We develop healthcare equipment designed to last, adapt to different uses, and minimize its impact on the environment. Because responsible healthcare is also more humane healthcare.

The use of responsible, sustainable, and recyclable materials significantly reduces our environmental footprint in France, as these materials require less energy, emit less CO2, and limit waste production. For example, bio-based materials (such as hemp, flax, and wood) and recycled materials (paper, plastic, metals) contribute to a circular economy and limit the use of fossil fuels and imported raw materials.

Products designed to last: repairability, reliability, easy maintenance

Rigorous checks are carried out throughout the manufacturing process, first on raw materials, then on welds, paint, assembly and finally on the finished product. Each product is signed by the person who inspected it: a responsibility... and a source of pride! Our products last more than 10 years.

Energy optimization at our production sites

Energy optimisation at production sites in France is now based on several key levers for reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint. Companies are encouraged to improve the energy efficiency of their industrial buildings, automate and control their heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and integrate renewable energy sources such as solar, biomass and waste heat recovered on site.

Circular economy

The circular economy is an economic model that aims to transform our production and consumption patterns in order to reduce resource waste and limit waste production. In France, the AGEC (Anti-Waste for a Circular Economy) law of 2020 marks a major turning point by imposing strong obligations on businesses, local authorities and citizens to move away from the linear "produce, consume, throw away" model in favour of a more sustainable, sober and competitive model.
