Climbing high up the ladder: Fournier-Daforib, France

PDF Print E-mail

Written by forumSME Admin

 Fournier-Daforib, France, provides proof that even for a product as age-old as the wooden ladder, innovation plays a major role in competitive advantage. Moreover, the French family business demonstrates that intellectual property is an asset for an SME intent on innovation.

The Fournier concern is a family business, established in 1945, supplying height access equipment. This limited liability partnership manufactures wooden ladders and also operates as a dealer, selling other equipment such as aluminium ladders, maintenance platforms and swinging scaffolds.
