Les Tissages de Charlieu is committed to sustainability

Les Tissages de Charlieu (LTC) was founded in 1902 in an area of France where weavers have been established since the Middle Ages. The company carries on Jacquard weaving know-how while demonstrating day after day that French industry can develop in sync with accessibility, eco-responsibility, human fulfillment, decarbonization, and respect for the environment. LTC has chosen Stäubli as a partner to support its approach and commitment.

The challenge

Les Tissages de Charlieu aims to demonstrate the effectiveness and profitability of sustainability in textile industry. The weaving company is committed to human health & safety, the environment, and prosperity. The textiles produced by LTC are woven in France in compliance with national and EU social & environmental regulations, making them some of the cleanest textiles on the planet.
One policy that LTC uses to achieve its aims is to partner with suppliers who provide durable, robust solutions that minimize energy consumption.
