Exporting Lemaitre quality

It was under the impetus of Jean-Michel Heckel, founder of the safety footwear business, that Lemaitre began to develop abroad.

Today 50% of the company's revenues come from exports thanks to its committed export sales team present all over Europe and as far afield as Canada. In 2009, the company joined the RAHMAN group, one the world leaders in leather goods and footwear whose share of the world PPE market is constantly growing.

Lemaitre has two subsidiaries, one in Germany, the other in the Czech Republic, as well as a sales office in Belgium. In 2010, the company bought out Spanish manufacturer MENDI, which now distributes its products in Spain.
