New jeans-making facility in France
03/03/2022
The company has invested in next-generation equipment, including automated machines, and hired and trained a staff of 20. Production capacity will be 100,000 jeans per year, it said. The €700,000 investment is partially funded by a French government industry-support programme and regional institutions.
The greater part of the production will be made for French denim brand 1083, which acquired Tissage de France when it went into receivership in 2018. It will also work for other brands that appreciate the possibility of placing a Made in France label on their jeans.
“This brings us one step closer to a goal we have been working towards for the past ten years, which is to make our products in France with French-made supplies,” said 1083 founder and Tissage de France president Thomas Huriez.
Jeans manufacturing in France is set to grow exponentially this year as the FashionCube Denim Center will be officially inaugurated in early April. This highly automated jeans manufacturing facility located in the north of the country is a project led by a group of Mulliez-owned brands. It has announced a jeans-making capacity of 400,000 per year.
