Mewa strengthens its presence in France

In addition to the already established route between Le Havre and Grenoble, Mewa will now also support its customers in new regions.

"We have significantly strengthened our workwear service offering in both the Southeast and the West."explains Télesphore Loréal, director of Mewa France. "We are thus responding to the growing demand from our French customers for professional and sustainable textile solutions."

Customer support for France is currently provided from eight locations: Binche (Liège) for the North and Belgium, Géménos (Marseille) for the Southeast, Lespinasse (Toulouse) for the Southwest, Avermes (Moulins-sur-Allier) for the Central region, Rémy (Compiègne) from Normandy to Champagne, Saarlouis (for the East), Spay (Le Mans) for the West, and Toussieu (Lyon) for the Rhône-Alpes region. From these locations, Mewa systematically develops its service areas in France.

Sustainable growth in France

France, the second largest market in Europe after Germany, is currently Mewa's fastest-growing market. The textile services provider is pursuing a long-term expansion strategy there, focused on sustainable and organic growth.

Active in France for almost 50 years, Mewa now serves over 26,000 clients. Its 356 employees support both medium-sized and large industrial companies, as well as smaller businesses such as auto repair shops and independent tradespeople. In 2024, the French sites generated €88 million in revenue. Each year, Mewa washes the work clothes of over 1.2 million wearers and 180 million reusable cleaning cloths for its clients.

Complete management for workwear: sustainable, efficient, flexible

Mewa's service offering goes far beyond simply supplying workwear. As part of its comprehensive and sustainable management approach, the company handles all aspects of garment care, maintenance, and logistics – from washing and collection to repairs and replacements, delivery, and more. This service concept not only reduces the organizational burden on clients but also lowers initial acquisition costs. Leveraging its expertise, Mewa supports its clients from the initial workwear selection stage and advises them on establishing a color scheme that aligns with their corporate identity.

All processes adhere to certified hygiene and quality standards and are designed to be particularly resource-efficient. Mewa's in-house online shop also offers a wide range of complementary products, from protective gloves and safety footwear to hygiene and protective items.
