Comfort and safety for our employees
Because wellbeing at work is essential, we chose to improve our employees’ comfort with custom-designed shoes, while maintaining a high level of safety.
By turning to Jallatte, a local player and leading company in the safety footwear market, our lab technicians will wear equipment designed specifically for them.
Thanks to an Infinergy® anti-fatigue insert from BASF, a technology from the world of running, and requirements exceeding the EN20347 standard, the Jallabo work shoe returns 55% of the energy accumulated while walking and helps reduce the risk of sprains, falls and swelling sensations.
“Mindful of the conditions our teams work in, Jallabo offers us a unique and innovative solution that combines safety, comfort and hygiene. Our 270 production staff, who are particularly exposed to frequent movement and prolonged standing, are now equipped with them”, comments Dounia Zerouali, Purchasing and General Services Coordinator at Phytocontrol.
A collaboration between 2 major players in the Gard economy
Based in Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort since 1947 and present in 43 countries, Jallatte employs 90 people. Phytocontrol Group, founded in 2006 in Nîmes, employs more than 400 people across Europe and North Africa.
Today, these two companies go beyond their economic role by pursuing an active approach to social responsibility. Having relocated part of its production to France, Jallatte is launching the first collection of “carbon neutral” certified safety shoes. Phytocontrol, for its part, works to promote wellbeing at work and promotes good social and environmental practices by selecting partners and suppliers who share its values and commitments.
A simple formula: energy return + reduced strain on muscles and joints = less effort throughout the day for happy employees who feel good in their shoes!
“Being able to buy equipment assembled 60 km from the laboratory is an opportunity; it allows us to protect local jobs while also protecting the environment by reducing the negative effects of transport,” says Mikaël Bresson, President and Founder of Phytocontrol.
“We are proud that Phytocontrol chose Jallatte for its teams. It’s a great example of collaboration between two major players in the local economy who share the same ambition: ensuring the safety and health of both customers and employees,” concludes Jean-Marie Calame, CEO of Jallatte.
