Summary for decision-makers

EDMA has relocated the production of its hand tools to France, internalizing new expertise for the building finishing sector. The company is thus reaffirming its values of innovation and quality, with complete control of the manufacturing chain at its French site. EDMAPLAC plasterboard lifters, flagship products for plasterboard installers, are designed, manufactured, and assembled there.

The processes are standardized, integrated with rigorous quality control, and each plate lifter undergoes a thorough inspection. Internalizing production at a single site promotes sustainable development: reduced transportation, optimized logistics, and packaging in recycled cardboard. This choice improves flexibility, simplifies after-sales service, and reduces delivery times for professional customers.

With the inauguration of its new premises in 2023, EDMA optimized its production capabilities by consolidating all its teams on a single site of over 6,300 m², located in Puget-sur-Argens. This building now houses the head office, the production line, and the logistics unit of the tool manufacturer.

EDMA continues its development and strengthens its industrial commitment by ensuring the manufacture in France of its EDMAPLAC plate lifters.

This strategic relocation, complementing its existing production facilities, provided EDMA with the opportunity to internalize new expertise related to product manufacturing. The company now offers building trades professionals a growing range of hand tools made in France.

With this new key step, EDMA reaffirms its values of innovation and quality. Two years after this relocation, the tool manufacturer is proud to present the French manufacturing of its EDMAPLAC plasterboard lifters. The ambition was clear: to design, produce and assemble the EDMAPLAC, flagship products for plasterboard installers, in France, at the new EDMA site, in order to guarantee complete control of the production chain and consistent professional quality.

To achieve this, the processes have been standardized and integrated into a demanding quality control system. Each plate lifter undergoes rigorous testing by specialized teams, guaranteeing optimal reliability.

True to its commitment to sustainable development, this in-house production on a single site directly contributes to EDMA's social and environmental responsibility: reduced transport, better controlled logistics and redesigned packaging, favouring recycled cardboard.

Finally, this complete mastery of manufacturing allows EDMA to gain flexibility, with simplified after-sales service and reduced delivery times, to respond ever more effectively to the expectations of its customers.

This remarkable advance concerns the historical EDMAPLAC models, EDMAPLAC 450 (Ref.: 267355) and EDMAPLAC cable (Ref.: 268655), as well as those to come.

EDMAPLAC products are always delivered semi-assembled (base and head still need to be assembled).
