Bancarel Housses, a 50-year passion for made-to-measure car seat covers

As it approaches its 50th anniversary, the newspaper Press Center Aveyron put together a retrospective of the company, a leader in the specialised market of made-to-measure car seat covers. 

Bancarel Housses, the number one company for made-to-measure car seat covers 

Bancarel Housses was founded in 1973 by Adrien Bancarel, who was soon joined by his son, Daniel Bancarel. Now retired, the company was taken over in the 2000s by Mr Pierre-Georges Pelofi.

The company's core business is focused on making made-to-measure seat covers for the automotive sector, particularly for car centres and dealerships (Norauto, Feu Vert...), with a collection of over 20,000 templates covering all makes and models.

Diversifying its activity and developing an e-commerce website have allowed Bancarel to continue growing and maintain its business with a new customer base: private individuals, and in particular owners of leisure vehicles (motorhomes, vans), who have never been so numerous on the roads since the health crisis. Drivers increasingly want to reclaim their freedom following the various lockdown periods experienced, and to be independent of accommodation providers. The motorhome has thus become a "second home" to decorate, just like the interior of a house.

This agility allows Bancarel to continue diversifying successfully while meeting its customers' needs.
