Esat La Hétraie

What Esat La Hétraie does

ESAT La Hétraie is a French sheltered workshop (Établissement et Service d'Aide par le Travail) located in Jouy-le-Moutier, Val d'Oise, Île-de-France, operating as part of the Association HEVEA network of 16 disability-support and child-protection establishments. The organization provides vocational activities and employment to 110 disabled workers across five core workshops: industrial subcontracting (45 workers, 3 monitors), green spaces and environment (30 workers, 5 monitors), laundry (15 workers, 2 monitors), reprography and finishing (5 workers, 1 monitor), and carpentry (2 monitors). It also delivers external on-site business services such as mail handling, archiving, cleaning, and dining. Enterprise and public-sector clients outsource work to fulfill up to 50% of their legal 6% disability employment obligation under French law (Law of February 11, 2005), avoiding AGEFIPH penalties of €3,812-€5,718 per unfulfilled position.

The establishment is operationally equipped with professional-grade machinery — including 100kg-capacity rotary dryers, 180kg-capacity washers with RABC-compliant aseptic barrier, full carpentry tooling (mortisers, planers, panel saws), mechanical/electromechanical assembly lines, and 65ppm digital copiers — supporting service delivery across five trades. Revenue is generated through professional-services contracts (custom quote-based pricing, multi-year annual contracts) with named clients including Safran (aerospace industrial subcontracting), AFP (news agency laundry), Soprema (construction carpentry), Solemnes (funeral services), Mairie de Chatou (municipal services), and La Clé pour l'Autisme (nonprofit). The organization holds AFNOR NF X 50-842 certification for equitable partnership standards and is GDPR-compliant.

The business model is sales-led enterprise B2B, executed through the AGEFIPH and GESAT national networks, direct outreach, and the corporate website. The company is directed by Patrick ALBIN, with Carole Fouques as publication director. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the legal entity operates as a private non-profit under French sheltered workshop law.
