Our partners are in France, Italy and Portugal. To find them, it is a meticulous work of audit and meeting. “Made in France” is not necessarily a guarantee of higher quality than in other countries, particularly in the European Union. No offense to Montebourg, some people play with the sometimes opaque name. Because the Made in France certification is awarded if and only if 45% of the added value of the product was produced in France or if its last significant transformation was carried out in France. What about the remaining 55% and the transformations deemed insignificant or even the well-being of employees and good working and manufacturing conditions? Without denouncing anyone, we can tell you that some people are playing with this vagueness to use it like a smoke screen in the colors of the flag. In an ideal world we would have to go and see each factory, each partner whether in France or elsewhere. Furthermore, this is what we strive to do: if all our products are not “made in France” they are always manufactured as locally as possible and mostly in Europe. In addition to this proximity, we strive to meet each partner to ensure the human and environmental conditions of each production factory. It's time to introduce our partners to you, we choose them for their commitments, both social and environmental. Only 10 in the Patine team.
