PRODUCTIONS FONLUPT

MANUFACTURER OF LUXURY READY-TO-WEAR FOR WOMEN SINCE 1972

Our subcontracting workshop operates since 1972 in Ballots in Mayenne (2 hours from Paris:
1 hour 30 minutes in TGV plus 30 minutes in car). Our primary expertise is the “Flou Technique” (blouses, tops, dresses …). Large French luxury brands entrust us with their fabrications.

A workshop of 70 people, under the supervision of the foreman, is organized into autonomous groups of eight to allow agility and adaptation to changes and challenges related to small and medium series. We also provide the manufacture of the collections and prototypes in constant contact with your technical teams. A designer and grading patternmaker have complemented our organization.

We are equipped with LECTRA, a cutting robot KURIS. We also provide the digitalization and gradations.

Our staff receives regular training (technique, quality, organization, autonomy and communication).

The equipment is new, regularly updated, relevant to “Flou Technique”. It consists of: flat-biting raseuses double drive, and sergers surfileuses single and dual drive, two needles 2.5 to 10 mm, off the arm 5 and 7 mm, machines fronçeuses programmable, invisible hemming dual diver, colleteuses -recouvreuses machines jour-echelle,  zig-zagueuses … Programmable Laying- buttons and buttonholes, including Juki AMB 289 (allowing installation of all buttons, with invisible thread over) pose-push button … Ironing workstation are equipped with iron boilers “all-steam”.

The process is automated:  from the input of routings to the monitoring of manufacturing and planning, allowing us to track orders in real time.

THE MANAGER

The taste of creation and the spirit of excellence and innovation that drives the luxury industry is a matter of experience. Amedi Nacer took over Thierry Establishments in 2004 and in 2012 Simon Fonlupt’s Productions. He knows from the inside the needs of great French luxury houses from manufacturing to supply reliability.

He worked for Kenzo from 1989 to 1992 and for nearly 8 years at LVMH, where he managed the production of five brands. From 2001 to 2004, at Hermès, he was responsible for the women ready-to-wear activity and shared this obsession for the preservation of the tradition and “savoir-faire” of French artisans.

With great responsibility, he has committed to training staff in new technologies and recruit young operators who will be trained by the veterans. He brings to the company the most modern production equipment , as shown by the 2008 investment in new premises near Caen, in Ifs, for Thierry Establishments.

The acquisition of FONLUPT establishes the positive development of Thierry Establishments whose sales grew over 35% between 2009 and 2012. With him, the new group took on a new challenge: to develop synergies between the two additional production units.
