What they say about us...
"The future of workwear will defifinitely involve consuming less but better and,above all, producing differently. These crises make us reimagine our profession, accelerate our transformation and review our business models to create new value, in particular, through more services related to our products. And, this is exactly where our customers expect us to be today."
"This groundbreaking solution is part of the initiative focusing on continuous innovation and on mastering historic know-how, from spinning to weaving. Together with CEPOVETT Group, we share the same desire to accelerate the circular economy and to popularize our technical fabrics."
"The buyer's job now integrates the ethical aspect into the qualitycost- leadtime trio. Being a responsible buyer means favouring responsible, recycled materials, referencing local suppliers, working together sustainably, whilst ensuring price performance: a daily challenge."
"This laboratory, hosted on our Villefranche/ Saône premises and testing the compliance and performance of our textiles, is a high-performing, state-of-the-art tool, intended to deliver more proactiveness in order to address our customers' and regulation evermore demanding technical and safety requirements effectively."
"Training for our teams is one of our key concerns for 2022. In this post-Covid period, it is vital to unify, to train and to mobilize our employees to meet the new challenges that CEPOVETT will have to address today and tomorrow."
