The EPV label, promoting the exceptional skills and innovation associated with France’s heritage.
The EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) state label guarantees recognition of the exceptional skills associated with manufacturing activities emblematic of France’s heritage. This demanding certification recognizes companies of all sizes that have successfully combined high value-added manufacturing with passion and innovation. A unique recognition of excellence and creativity “à la française”.
The only distinction awarded by the French government, the EPV label aims to reward French excellence based on the advanced mastery of rare, renowned or ancestral know-how.
As part of an ongoing process of innovation, the label underlines the highly technical nature of certain craft or industrial products, as well as their ability to adapt to new customer needs. Intelligent enhancement of the functionalities of objects, the use of sophisticated materials, constant improvements in quality and the constant pushing back of technical limits are just some of the strategies that happily combine modernity and tradition.
This harmonious development of often ancient trades helps to promote the quality of French products. It also ensures that high value-added manufacturing processes continue to be based in France.
An award open to all sectors and all companies defending France’s manufacturing heritage.
