Moreau Sport

What Moreau Sport does

Moreau Sport is a French designer and manufacturer of gymnastics apparel, headquartered in Villeurbanne in the Lyon region. Founded in 1983 (per the company's own history, though firmographic data lists 2000), it operates a focused product range built around women's and men's gymnastics leotards, plus training apparel, accessories, and club-customization services. Manufacturing is conducted in-house in French workshops, using technical fabrics such as Lycra and spandex with proprietary techniques including premium sublimation printing, precision rhinestone application, and ergonomic second-skin cuts. The portfolio is organized into clearly differentiated lines: a core competition/training range, themed capsules such as the Neon collection, replica leotards tied to national teams and the Olympics, and athlete-led collaborations including the Nadia Comăneci collector collection and the Carolann x MOREAU SPORT capsule.

The company runs a dual go-to-market: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront in four languages (French, English, German, Romanian) with multi-currency pricing, and a dedicated B2B club and federation sales operation handling bulk custom orders with logos, names, and personalized designs. Pricing is unit-based, with entry training leotards starting around €23, mid-range competition pieces between €55 and €119, and premium collector sets reaching €180. Distribution includes free shipping over €100 in Metropolitan France, 14-day returns, newsletter-driven 10% acquisition offers, and seasonal sales of 10-60%. Customer relationships span individual gymnasts aged 6 to adult, gymnastics clubs across France and Europe, and national federations including France, Romania, and Algeria, with an official partnership with the French Gymnastics Federation (FFGym) and representation at the 2024 Olympic Games.

Moreau Sport is privately held, founder/family-controlled (the LinkedIn entity appears under the founder's name, "Christian Moreau"), and operates with no disclosed external funding, M&A, or secondary transactions. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, consistent with a focused specialty manufacturer rather than a scaled apparel platform. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
