ESAT Paul-Lebreton

What ESAT Paul-Lebreton does

ESAT Paul-Lebreton is a French medico-social establishment managed by the nonprofit association APHL (Association pour l'Accompagnement des Personnes en situation de Handicap dans le Loiret). Its purpose is the socio-professional inclusion of approximately 100 persons with disabilities through paid professional activity, with no shares issued and no venture or external investment. The establishment operates three production sites across the Orléans Métropole area — Auguste Rodin in Orléans (headquarters and artisan workshop/showroom), Denis Papin in Saint-Jean-de-Braye, and des Foulons in Fleury-les-Aubrais.

The organization delivers three core service lines: (1) industrial subcontracting (assembly, conditioning, labeling, kitting, quality control, shrink-wrapping, palletizing) for first-tier automotive suppliers, cosmetics and parapharmaceutical brands, and packaging/cartonage customers; (2) enterprise services (green-space maintenance, premises hygiene and maintenance, mail sorting, personnel detachment) for companies and public-sector collectivités; and (3) traditional craftsmanship (upholstery, cabinetmaking, traditional caning, furniture restoration) sold through a physical showroom and an online boutique on HelloAsso. The Rodin and Denis Papin sites hold ISO 9001 Version 2015 certification issued by Bureau Veritas.

Revenue is generated through quote-based service contracts billed to enterprise clients and one-off consumer transactions on artisan pieces. A structural commercial lever is the AGEFIPH deduction: French employers subject to the 6% disabled-worker quota can contract with the ESAT and deduct up to 30% of useful turnover (excluding raw materials) from their AGEFIPH contribution, reducing effective net cost. The company has no technology platform, no public APIs, and no documented AI or data capabilities; service delivery is workshop- and labor-based, with supervisory personnel adapting tasks to workers' capabilities.
