SOURCING TRADING

While the Group has few production units in Europe, it has a very detailed knowledge of Asia’s industrial fabric. It has contacts with the very best production sites and regularly works with around 150 factories. These are selected for their know-how, specialisation, production capacity, history and respect for social and environmental standards.

Today, most of the volumes sold by the Royer Group come from South-East Asia (85%). But the Group is concerned to broaden its production regions and also calls on other regions such as India, where leather work is particularly valued, and the countries of Southern Europe.

To cope with the geographical remoteness of some of the production sites, offices – genuine Group subsidiaries – have been set up as close as possible to the factories. 200 people (development managers, quality controllers, merchandisers…) are there to make sure that production runs smoothly. Their work consists of placing the collections with the suppliers and checks on quality and deadlines, all in close collaboration with the teams in France.
