Armor-Lux wins Air France uniform contract as it expands business clothing work

Armor-Lux, a clothing company based in Quimper, has won a contract to dress Air France staff.

Uniforms for large companies, including La Poste and Carrefour, make up half its activity.

The company says business orders bring in €60 million a year, supporting its 600 employees.

Much of Europe’s textile industry has disappeared, and only 41% of manufactured goods in France are made there.

Armor-Lux makes 35% of SNCF uniforms in Quimper, using production methods developed to compete with foreign manufacturers.

For Carrefour, Armor-Lux designs the clothes in France, but they are made in China and the Maghreb.

The company also delivers and provides customer service, expanding beyond clothing production into a broader service business.
