RELIES ON THE BLÅKLÄDER
WEBSHOP
Founded in 1955, the Ménard France Group is today a global reference in ground improvement and soil reinforcement, with operations in more than 80 countries. For nearly 70 years, the company has been developing innovative foundation solutions based on advanced technologies, enabling soils to be adapted and stabilised for all types of construction projects – from buildings and road infrastructure to rail, maritime and industrial developments.
A WEBSHOP FOR SMOOTH AND SUSTAINABLE PPE MANAGEMENT
Active throughout the entire infrastructure life cycle – from ground investigation and decontamination to design, construction and rehabilitation – Ménard France employees operate in high-risk environments.
Unstable ground conditions, combined with the use of heavy machinery and hazardous tools, place stringent demands on robust, purpose-designed personal protective equipment.
A LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP FOR SAFETY
To meet the critical, evolving requirements of its 240 employees in France, the Ménard France Group has renewed its collaboration with Blåkläder. For more than nine years, the Swedish workwear specialists have supported the company by supplying durable, comfortable and functional protective clothing.
With risks ranging from falls of people and objects to collisions with machinery, leaks and material splashes, professionals in soil reinforcement are subject to strict safety standards. Through its extensive range of workwear and PPE, Blåkläder addresses these demands with precision – offering, among other things, hi-vis garments with multiple pockets and elastic zones that enhance freedom of movement and productivity, while simplifying the everyday work of Ménard France employees.
Alongside employee well-being, on-site safety is a fundamental pillar of our operations and a key factor in the recognition of our expertise. With Blåkläder, we ensure protection that meets the highest European standards and working conditions that truly put people at the centre.
– Anne-Laure Laville, QHSE Manager at Ménard France
SMARTER PPE MANAGEMENT WITH THE BLÅKLÄDER WEBSHOP
To ensure an optimal product life cycle and reduce the risks faced by employees, Ménard France has also adopted the Blåkläder webshop – a platform that centralises all company orders and provides each professional with a personalised space, giving them near-complete autonomy when renewing their PPE. At the national level, this solution significantly streamlines the ordering process and delivers substantial time savings for the administrator who approves requests.
"This flexible and efficient solution has transformed the way we manage stock and orders. It now aligns with our sustainability goals and strengthens trust with our teams – those directly exposed to on-site risks. The autonomy it provides ensures individual compliance with specifications developed in close collaboration with Blåkläder’s responsive, highly committed teams. After several years of use, we simply couldn’t do without it," says Anne-Laure Laville.
Among several services focused on efficiency and brand development, Blåkläder also enables Ménard France to personalise garments with company branding – reinforcing a sense of belonging while clearly differentiating the brand.
