Bancarel: Laureate of the Prize for Sustainable Development
As part of the tenth edition of "L'Aveyron des Champions", the CCI Aveyron presented awards to various winning Aveyron-based companies at a ceremony held on Thursday 24 September 2021 in Onet-le-Château.
Among the lucky winners, Bancarel was awarded the Sustainable Development prize.
L'Aveyron des Champions, an award to celebrate Aveyron-based companies
For the past ten years, L'Aveyron des Champions has each year set out to "celebrate Aveyron entrepreneurship, and to showcase and promote the creativity, initiative and success of Aveyron-based companies rooted in the local area". Around sixty companies of all sizes and sectors have been recognised to date across various award categories: international, human resources, innovation, sustainable development, and more. They were selected by a jury made up of business leaders, who chose the lucky winners from among the 15,000 companies present in the region, recognising those that stood out during the health crisis.
Bancarel, winner of the Sustainable Development award
Bancarel, France's number one company for made-to-measure car seat covers, redirected its production facility from the very start of the health crisis to make fabric protective masks.
It was one of the first companies to respond to the call from the CCI Aveyron to help manufacture masks and outfits for healthcare workers, contributing to the national movement of solidarity. Bancarel's masks were quickly approved by the Direction Générale de l'Armement (French Defence Procurement Agency) to equip the army. Other products in the fight against Covid were developed in parallel: protective overalls, protective car seat covers, and more.
This agility has allowed, and continues to allow, Bancarel to stand out and stay at the forefront of innovation in meeting its customers' requirements.
