LOCAU® works in collaboration with professional users (dressmakers, florists, cooks, etc.) and also with design schools in order to regularly create new products that combine functionality, design and safety. Our products are intended for both the professional and private world, and are therefore developed with a constant concern for quality in order to offer tools that are robust and of course at the best quality/price ratio.
LOCAU® is determined to preserve its know-how and thus sustain local employment. The manufacture of LE THIERS® knives is undeniable proof of this, as is the desire to preserve and bring the scissor production tools up to standard.
