Faithful to its tradition spanning more than 100 years,
Roger Pradier® continues to work with unrelenting
passion and dedication to light up your everyday outside
spaces. Our outstanding know-how in the production of
outdoor lighting is widely recognised and has earned
us an “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” mark from the
French State. We are all very proud to belong to this
select fraternity of manufacturers of products of the
highest quality and we are thoroughly convinced that our
continued mastery over our production processes is the
key to our future.
Our stringent quality standards for our lighting products
are our answer to the challenges of tomorrow, with
timelessness of designs and durability of products fast
becoming a necessity in a world that must transition
towards greater sustainability. Local production is also a
key aspect, with proximity and short supply chains among
the best ways of significantly limiting our impact on the
environment. Roger Pradier® continues to follow this
approach, with the inauguration of a new extension of
our Châteauroux factory that will feature a “zero defect”
painting facility among other things.
In 2022 we also plan to make it possible for customers
to order our lighting products online directly from the
roger-pradier.com web site. This scheme that we are
implementing for mainland France puts our partner stores
at the very heart of the e-commerce process, which we
want to make as hands-on as possible; customers will
thus be able to collect their orders from the partner
stores, and Roger Pradier® will continue to recommend
that you go talk to them so as to jointly find the best
solution to your projects.
In order to underpin our plans for growth, we will be
expanding our team once again through the creation
of new roles in our organisation. Jean-Michel Vergain
will thus be joining us as Managing Director. We are
delighted to welcome him and look forward to pursuing
our journey together with him, and with you!
