Throughout our history, we demonstrate that it is possible to reconcile innovation, economic dynamism, and ethical commitment through Made in France production, environmentally friendly, like the Emergence collection.

We pay a very special attention to the environment

In designing our products, we multiply initiatives to preserve the environment and combat its degradation. The materials we use preferably consist of recycled products. Each door, each panel is ordered and produced to exact dimensions to minimize waste on our sites. Our factories have long banned any organic solvents. The recovery of powder coating allows the use of the entire raw material, and our surface treatment and powder application processes are classified as “zero waste” installations.

We have thought every detail so that the end-of-life of our products has no environmental impact. The components of our partitions are sorted and valorized for re-use.

Our areas of expertise

Projects

From confidential projects to 60-storey towers, our Project teams are organized to handle all types of modular partitioning and installation projects. Once approved, your sales representative ensures the transfer of your project to our construction teams.

Your single point of contact, the Project Manager/Quality Manager, then coordinates the implementation of your project. Acting as a true conductor, they oversee the entire construction process, from conception to delivery, accompanied by their teams.

Regular checkpoints are conducted at crucial stages of your project to ensure the quality of our implementation rules and adherence to your schedule.

Our commitment: Create the spaces you have envisioned for your complete satisfaction !

Services

With Cerenn Service, we offer a range of services to facilitate the creation and evolution of your layouts. Whether dealing with constrained work, a personalized approach, our sense of service knows no bounds.

From simply moving your partitions to a complete overhaul of your spaces, we envision a variety of solutions to intervene while respecting the serenity of your teams.

Distribution

Do you have a tertiary development project regionally or internationally ?

Cerenn ensures a national presence through its Distribution Sales Managers across France and abroad. In close collaboration with our office of study technicians, our sales representatives assess your technical, acoustic, and aesthetic needs.

Our Engineering office then creates the plans for your layout and initiates the production of your order. Simultaneously, your dedicated sales representative connects you with a member of our network of Distributor Partners, trained in our products. They will oversee the implementation of your project with their installation teams.

A know-how
Made in France

Devoted to our original territories: Rimaucourt (Champagne-Ardenne) and Sarre-Union (Alsace), we cultivate the loyalty of our teams and ensure the transmission of unique “trade” expertise in our territory. In this regard, we bring together talents of all generations to ensure our actions continue in a legacy while prioritizing innovation.

Our collections meet the most stringent requirements, and we assert rigorous control over our productions. This is the price we pay to guarantee everyday use for over 20 years.

CSR at the heart of our professions

Discover our commitments

A societal approach

We make the deliberate choice of “Made in France”: wood, steel, joinery have been traditions always present in Champagne and Alsace, the birthplaces of our factories.

Our agencies in Ile-de-France and Rhône-Alpes, in the heart of dynamic economic basins, offer us the opportunity to be close to apprenticeship schools and the academic world to promote training and integration.

An environmental approach

We constantly prefer eco-sourced products and undertake numerous actions to reduce our waste and emissions, or even the use of transportation through local purchases.

With Cerenn Service, 20% of our activity is based on the re-use of existing partitions.

An ethical economic approach

We have chosen “Made in France” permanently, not only out of conviction but also as a guarantee of quality and responsiveness for our clients.

Present for decades in our locations, we therefore claim a major role in our circular economies as employers, clients of our local suppliers, and qualified subcontractors nearby.
