A Roanne company bets on knitwear made in France
Published
A company in Roanne, in the Loire department, is attracting attention with its strategy based on French manufacturing. Arnaud de Belabre and Karine Renouil-Tiberghien have taken over several companies in the textile sector. Their choice is clear: produce in France and promote the "made in France" label.
This bet concerns in particular knitwear, which is becoming the core of the group's activity. The two managers have bought existing companies, sometimes in difficulty, in order to preserve local know-how and jobs in the region. Knitwear is therefore presented as the flagship product of their development.
The French textile sector has seen many factory closures over the past few decades due to international competition. In this context, taking over companies and bringing production back to France represent an approach followed by several players. The information available remains limited, particularly regarding turnover and the exact number of employees.
This initiative shows that a traditional industrial activity can find new momentum in France. It also illustrates the interest some consumers have in locally made products.
