Respect for the men and women who produce
Rainette works with a number of partner companies and imposes a set of specifications on each of them, with respect at its heart.
We respect labor laws and the well-being of the people who make our products.
Whether our product is made in France, Europe or Asia, our standards are the same.
Sustainable quality and responsible production
We produce high-quality equipment and accessories, because for us, that means durability.
A product that ages well is a product that doesn't need to be replaced.
To ensure this quality, we focus on :
- Sourcing of raw materials: comparison, certifications, recyclability, strength, technicality, we take everything into account when selecting our basic materials.
- Competence of manufacturers: this is a matter of debate, but we prefer to choose an expert company further afield than a local company producing poor quality products. And when French companies are the best, of course we go with them! Find out more about our made in France selection here.
- Continuous improvement: Rainette listens to your feedback and constantly rethinks its products to ensure your complete satisfaction.
At the bottom of the page you'll find details of the origins and materials used in all our products.
China or not china
When it comes to responsible production, Made in China is a thorny issue.
Human error, ecological impact of transport, lack of quality: Chinese industry is under fire.
Yet China knows how to produce with know-how and technical skill. At Rainette, we've searched and we haven't found such quality anywhere else.
Our technical products such as reflectors and raincoats come from Asia. But not at any human or environmental cost.
We have selected our suppliers with the utmost care, and our factories are certified BSCI *(Corporate Social Compliance Initiative).
