These northern entrepreneurs who bet (again) on the textile

A jacket from the Grain du Nord – Grain du Nord collection

The projects are multiplying in the textile sector of the Hauts-de-France, which turns the page of the black years …

The textile sector still employs 14,000 people in Hauts-de-France
Numerous development projects are emerging, aided by the success of Made in France

The beautiful days of the textile may be back in the Hauts-de-France. The sector, which still employs around 14,000 employees, is teeming with projects that had not been seen for a long time. To the point that some even find it hard to find enough employees to recruit.

Thus the underwear manufacturer Lemahieu is accompanied to train about ten new employees in two months. The company, which celebrates its 70 years of activity, employs 95 employees and seeks a total of fifteen dressmakers and seamstresses to accompany its development.
The “Made in France”, regional success

The success of the “Made in France” partly explains this good health, which resulted, in Lemahieu, in sales growth of 11% in 2016. “The minister who posed as a sailor (Arnaud Montebourg) had an effect Positive, but there is also innovation and the combined action of some players, “explains Olivier Diers, co-leader of Lemahieu.

In particular, the industrialist cited the French Slip’s culinary entrepreneurs, who knew how to value the know-how of Lemahieu, their supplier, while also communicating on the latest innovation, underwear “enriched” in cosmetics.

This appetite for the “locally made” is also what decided Leopold Rigaut, young employee of the school management Lille Ieseg, to try the adventure of textile. Sailing enthusiast, he designed a jacket made 100% in the Hauts-de-France, at workshops Audomarrois.

He has two weeks to complete the fundraising for his first collection (9,000 euros) on a participatory financing site. “It’s not easy to get started, but eventually I’ve found a lot of people who want to manufacture in the region.”
“We came out of the dark years”

The young creators of No. Co have, more than two years, succeeded. All four came out of the school of applied art of Roubaix (Esaat), they launched at the beginning of the year their brand of trendy T-shirts designed and entirely manufactured in the region. “The T-Shirt comes from Lemahieu, the ribbons of Comines, the consumables [motifs that decorate the T-shirts] of Tourcoing …”, describes Anaïs Defever, who assumes the function of artistic director, in the band of 4.

In the absence of direct funding, parastatal aid was “decisive” (BGE, CLAP) to launch the No-Co project. But they believe in it and hope to decline soon, too, a more extended range.

“We feel well, for three years, that we came out of the dark years,” says Jean-Dominique Aublin of the Union of textile industries of the North. “The effect of made in France looks sustainable, innovation exists. Development projects are there, and recruitments too.

The treasures of “made in France”

Originally created to support craft or industrial companies that have an ancient and unique know-how, the Living Heritage Company (EPV) label will also guide companies to make them more competitive.

Chanel, Givenchy (LVMH) but also the Ayrens umbrellas, the Laval armchairs or the Gerbe tights. They are among the holders of the Living Heritage Enterprise (EPV) label: only 1399 out of the 3 million companies in France. This distinction of State may be requested, whatever their activity, by those who think they possess exceptional artisanal or industrial know-how. “The word” living “is important, says Alexis Govciyan, director of the Higher Institute of Trades, who has been in charge of the label since his …

Fair trade driven by the rise of “Made in France”

Consumption of fair-trade products “made in France” increased by 155% last year. – 20 MINUTES / SIPA /

The market overall rose by 42.8% in 2016 to 948 million euros, boosted by the rise of French channels up 155% to 275 million.

In France, the consumption of fair trade products continues its irresistible rise with a growth of 42.8% in 2016 to 948 million euros, notes the Platform for Fair Trade which published Wednesday its key figures For 2016.
While the French market has more than doubled in four years (+ 121% between 2013 and 2016), the increase recorded last year was characterized by the rise in the number of French channels: 155% to 275 million euros, While the growth of international channels – older and linked to developing countries – showed a more moderate but nevertheless double-digit increase of 21% to 673 million euros.

As a sign of the enthusiasm of French consumers to consume responsible, the average basket per inhabitant – it consists of 95% of food products – has more than doubled in five years, from 5.9 euros in 2012 to more than 14.1 euros In 2016.

The rise of networks of organic specialist stores

Another lesson from this focus is that ethical but non-organic positioning is no longer sufficient. As a result, the consumption of products benefiting from a dual “organic” (or ecological) and “equitable” label continues to grow for international channels (1); In five years their share increased from 63% to 74%. Different situation in France where the fair trade sector is in full structuration. “A part of the actors (Bio-Partners, Biocoop, Ethiquable) is also positioned on organic farming, while another (Agri-ethics) is not yet,” note the authors (2).

Finally, there is a “marked difference” between the international and the French channels in terms of distribution channels. (41.8%) of the large and medium-sized (GMS) channels, while those of the second (see below) are mainly (52.8%). In the local shops, notably bakeries with Agri-Ethique wheat & flour, and organic distribution networks (43.7%), but very little in GMS (3.4%).

Distribution of fair trade products: “marked difference” between international and French channels. The large distribution area for the first, the bios shop for the second.

Thus, a quarter of the Biocoop network’s sales come from the sale of fair-trade products (international and French).

“Le Made in France” is one of the main themes of the electoral campaign during which the need to produce and buy French was highlighted. These political ambitions are in perfect harmony with the opinion of French consumers: today 91% of them declare that they are ready to give priority to “Made in France” products (Opinion Way – October 2011).

However, the consumer is often lost in front of the multitude of labels, which does not facilitate his choice. How does he go about finding himself? How can he ensure the provenance of all these “Made in France” products?

To echo this serious problem, Fabienne Delahaye, co-founder of Delling Expo (organization of shows for 15 years), had the idea to create the biggest boutique of Made in France products: MIF Expo, the first dedicated trade show Products manufactured in France.

They make in France, come and meet them!

Aube: How the textile industry successfully transformed

Formerly the flagship sector of the Aube, textiles do not use as much as before. Signs continue to settle, but the emphasis is on logistics.
It is a sector that has made the big hours of the Dawn: the textile. But at the time of the relocations, it does not use as much as before and has to make some transformations.

A mutation beneficial, as signs still continue to settle in the department with a focus on logistics.

In Buchères, for example, the site of the Petit Bateau brand covers more than 4,000 square meters. However, no manufacturing line or production is there: on the spot, the products are only passing through. The brand employs more than 180 people to process 25 million pieces per year.

In the 1960s, 20,000 people depended on the textile industry. Today, there are only 50 companies in this sector for 3,000 jobs.

The Aube has therefore relied on its strategic position at the heart of the North-South and East-West flows with the creation in the early 2000s of a logistics park to accompany the transformation of the textile industry towards distribution. Three companies are set up for the moment and the department is expected to host a fourth this year.

L’équipe de l’entreprise./ Photo DR

C’est sous la forme d’une coopérative Scop que des salariés du tissage Clarenson à Castres viennent de reprendre leur usine. Une équipe soudée et dynamique entend bien pérenniser le tissu haut de gamme «Made in France».

Neuf des treize employés se sont lancés dans l’aventure et ont su convaincre le tribunal de leur laisser les clefs de la boutique. Les tissus sont élaborés dans l’usine castraise pour de belles marques situées à l’étranger pour l’essentiel dont certaines sont reconnues mondialement : Balmain (France), Armani (Italie), Alexander Wang (New York). 80% du chiffre d’affaires de la société Clarenson en effet est dédié à l’export.

TopTex Cube vers l’usine textile de demain

Gabrielle Corsat – Atelier de fabrication de TopTex Cube

TopTex Cube, qui compte son siège social à Chanas, lève des fonds auprès de Casra (Credit agricole sud Rhône-Alpes capital), qui assure les prochaines étapes de développement de la société de textile. Avec une nouvelle ligne de vêtements sous sa marque propre : Aouro.

400 00 €, c’est le montant de la levée de fonds que la société TopTex Cube a obtenu. Une société fondée en 2014 par Philippe Joffard, ancien président de Lafuma, aux côtés de Laurent Noca et Hugo Viallon.

L’entreprise qui a réalisé un chiffre d’affaires de 220 000 € en 2015 est spécialisée dans la conception et le développement de produits textiles techniques et intelligents. « Cette opération intervient à un moment majeur de la croissance de l’entreprise. Nous allons ainsi passer de l’expérimentation à la production en série pour deux de nos innovations. Ce soutien financier s’avère donc fondamental pour poursuivre le rythme de croissance et investir dans de nouvelles machines, dont certaines exclusives », explique Philippe Joffard, président de TopTex Cube.

Produits textiles instrumentés et connectés (Tee-shirts, ponchos de pluie …), nouvelles techniques de confection et d’assemblage, formage nouvelle génération à l’image de la baignoire compacte BEABA, « le procédé Texcube est le résultat de plus de 5 ans de recherche sur plusieurs briques technologiques, de la composition des matériaux jusqu’aux produits en passant par la conceptualisation et la mise en œuvre de machine industrielle », explique Hugo Viallon, responsable R&D. La technologie est protégée par deux brevets d’invention, portant sur le process et les matériaux développés spécifiquement pour la mise en œuvre de cette technologie et la réalisation de sous-ensemble textile formés sans couture. Le tout fabriqué à Saint-Barthélémy-de-Vals dans la Drôme. En ce qui concerne la fibre polyester, celle-ci est tissée à Ardoix en Ardèche chez Chamatex qui a inauguré en juin dernier son nouvel atelier dédié à la technologie Matryx. Cette solution technique brevetée de tissage sélectif permet l’alliance de la performance et de nouveaux styles produit pour de nombreuses applications.

100 % made in France

TopTex Cube va accélérer la production de produits pour ses clients et commercialiser ses vêtements innovants et design sous sa marque Aouro

Avec ces nouveaux actionnaires, TopTex Cube entend développer l’activité en poursuivant sa croissance en France et en Europe. Mais également renforcer ses équipes, accélérer la production de produits pour ses clients et commercialiser ses vêtements innovants et design sous sa marque Aouro, fabriqués en France. « L’utilisation de procédés technologiques alternatifs à la confection traditionnelle se met au service de l’innovation et de l’efficacité industrielle. La découpe laser, la soudure ultrason et le thermocollage permettent ainsi de maximiser les performances, d’augmenter le confort et surtout de se différencier par le style. Le lancement de la marque en édition numérotée se fera pour l’heure sur Kickstarter, une plateforme participative à partir de fin septembre sur aouro.co », conclut Hugo Viallon. Désormais, TopTex Cube s’inscrit dans cette double révolution en s’engageant dans la création produits qui confirme le potentiel de différenciation créative de ces nouvelles technologies, et dans la production de série pour initier l’usine textile de demain.

Une fabrique de t-shirts en Chine, à Zhujiajiao, près de Shanghaï, le 8 septembre.

Aux avant-postes de la mondialisation, l’industrie du textile et de l’habillement colle de façon mécanique aux soubresauts géopolitiques qui secouent la planète. Dans sa dernière étude publiée mercredi 14 septembre à l’occasion du salon du tissu Texworld au Bourget (Seine-Saint-Denis), l’experte Anne-Laure Linget note « des interrogations – de la part des grands donneurs d’ordre – sur les perspectives turques ».
