Visit Corderie Palus, awarded the "Living Heritage Company" label
Publié le 18 April 2025 par su_laetis
Founded in 1908, Corderie Palus, located in Saint-Pantaléon-de-Larche, is a traditional artisanal rope-maker.
What makes it special? It's the last 280m-long workshop in France capable of working such long lengths! Its products are used in animal husbandry, woodworking, vineyards and arboriculture, flour milling, packaging twine, upholstery, plumbing and sport.
A tradition that is perpetuated day after day by meticulous work using natural fibres such as hemp, sisal, jute and cotton.
La Corderie has just been awarded the invaluable"Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (EPV) state label, established to distinguish French companies and industrial and craft skills of excellence, for a period of 5 years.
Characteristics of the "Living Heritage Company" label
Created in 2005, the EPV label is designed to highlight companies that are committed to innovation, tradition, know-how, the creative spirit and Made in France heritage.
It is the only government label awarded to a company for its entire activity:
- high performance of the business and its products
- special attention to in-house training,
- a technically and socially innovative approach,
- a dynamic sales strategy.
- It guarantees the excellence of its know-how.
The label’s commitment:
Regardless of their size, reputation or specialisms, EPVs work together to safeguard a treasure: France’s heritage and expertise.
By choosing a certified company, customers support the preservation and development of these so-called ‘prestige’ activities, thereby helping to secure long-term, non-offshored jobs.
Palus Rope Works: cutting-edge technology
These companies are capable of working on exceptional projects, fulfilling the most original orders, and offering innovative, bespoke solutions to meet the most specialised needs and satisfy the most demanding customers. Across all fields, whether rooted in tradition or utilising cutting-edge techniques, these companies share a common talent: that of offering bespoke services and items that cannot be found elsewhere.
Some wonderful collaborations have already taken place with a Haute Couture house and with the Corderie Royale de Rochefort.
