What Broussaud Textiles does

Broussaud Textiles is a French family-owned manufacturer of socks, tights, underwear, and specialty circular-knit products, founded in 1938 in Les Cars, Limousin, and now in its third generation of family ownership under Aymeric and Alexandra Broussaud. The company produces on Nagata latest-generation machines and Lonati mono/double-cylinder equipment with mesh-reminer technology, operating across four gauges (6, 10, 14, 18) from thick to fine mesh, and controls the full production chain from knitting to looping, shaping, assembly, and packaging. It holds the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label from the French Ministry of Economy and the Origine France Garantie certification (certificate 6432564), and offers 150 seasonal models in 400+ in-stock colors.

The business operates a primarily B2B contract-manufacturing model for fashion, lifestyle, sports, and corporate/promotional buyers across more than 40 brand clients (including Maison Kitsuné, Le Slip Français, Bonne Maison, Armor Lux, Sessun, Maison Labiche, Le Bon Marché, and Tediber), with delivery to stores in France, China, Japan, Korea, and the USA. Pricing is unit-based with a 50-pair minimum per size and color, and the company offers turnkey service from initial sketch to final packaging and global delivery. Broussaud also operates direct-to-consumer channels through three owned e-commerce storefronts (Maison Broussaud, Maillebike for cycling, and Les Limousines) and a factory shop in Les Cars.

The company employs 11-50 people against a historical peak of up to 200, and is privately held with no external investors, no M&A activity, and no funding rounds disclosed. Current strategic activity is concentrated on continuous product expansion (Spring/Summer 2026 collection launch), onboarding new premium brand clients, and broadening DTC reach through digital storefronts rather than scaling headcount or pursuing inorganic growth.
