What Jallate does

Jallatte (legal entity: SAS JALLATTE) is a French family-owned manufacturer of safety footwear founded in 1946, headquartered in Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort, France, with an R&D center in Trani, Italy. The company designs and produces protective shoes and boots under a portfolio of roughly 18 product lines including J-ROYAL (premium quality), J-ENERGY (performance with BASF INFINERGY), GORE-TEX (waterproof), J-RESPECT (carbon neutral), HELIUM (lightweight), SYNERGY, J-INDUSTRY, J-HOP (41.5% energy restitution), J-ESCAPE (all-terrain with VIBRAM soles up to 300°C), and specialized ranges for oil & gas, metallurgy, and healthcare. Its technical differentiation rests on proprietary sole and midsole technologies (INFINERGY, FleXtane, Softane, Triftane) co-developed with BASF, integrated GORE-TEX membranes, VIBRAM rubber outsoles, and BOA precision fit systems, with compliance to EN ISO 20345 and SECOSOL DGUV 112-191 orthopedic insole certification. Jallatte holds ISO 9001 (since 2023), ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 14068-1 carbon neutral (J-RESPECT), and Great Place To Work (2025) certifications.

Jallatte operates a pure B2B hardware sales revenue model, with pricing conducted through quotation via direct commercial offices and dealer networks rather than public price lists. Distribution is anchored on four directly owned commercial sales offices in France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, supplemented by a global sales network of dealers and distributors covering Scandinavia, Eastern and Southern Europe, Africa, DROM-COM, the Middle East, North and South America, Asia, and Oceania. Marketing relies on a multilingual website (FR, EN, IT, ES, NL, DE), trade show participation (Preventica, BATIMAT, Expoprotection, A+A Düsseldorf, Worksafe), YouTube video content featuring named customer collaborations with Orange, Veolia, and Renault, and downloadable PDF catalogs. Standard delivery on stocked items is quoted at seven working days. End markets span construction (BTP), light and heavy industry, logistics and transport, agri-food and hygiene, oil and gas, metallurgy, healthcare, and artisans/service workers.
