The MADE IN FRANCE statement aims to comfort and facilitate the choice of consumers wanting to buy "Made in France" products that strictly satisfy the criteria of the European regulation governing "Made in France". It helps to speed up reindustrialisation of the territory, to preserve local jobs and to respond to the objectives of carbon footprint reduction of France. We are proud to have been a French manufacturer since 1954 and of our contribution to the energy of the local job scene.
LONGTIME® is the leading European label for products designed to last. It provides assurance that the products carrying the label are reliable and repairable, in contrast to planned obsolescence. It is based on a set of 41 criteria, covering three main requirements: robust design / quality, repairability, guarantees and after sales service.
The LONGTIME® label is awarded to products impartially, after an assessment audit carried out by an independent control body.
Our plastics injection plant, LALLEMAND based in France in Ain, is labelled MORE, the top European label evaluating the action of plastics processors for the circular economy and the integration of recycled plastics into production.

Our labels
"We are proud of having both the Longtime® label and the EPV label: they reward the faithfulness to our conviction of producing in France, and our knowhow developed and transmitted for more than 60 years with an increasingly demanding approach to quality"
LAFUMA MOBILIER, which accompanied the country's great social and sporting triumphs of the last century, is settling further into French heritage and especially that of the Drôme. The brand, which has always selected vendors mostly located less than 150 km from the industrial base, is claiming its connection with the region and promoting the local art of living. This sustainable approach, which gives the brand its singular style, is bearing its fruits internationally, where LAFUMA MOBILIER has strongly increased its turnover in recent years.
