This Wednesday, November 12, Dominique Seau, CEO of ErgoSanté, was guest on the Pari ETI program on BFM Business, hosted by Patrice Bégay. An opportunity to shed light on the mission, values and ambitions of ErgoSanté, an industrial company established in the heart of the Cévennes for over ten years.

A company rooted in its region

Founded in 2013, ErgoSanté designs and manufactures ergonomic solutions designed to improve well-being at work. The company specializes in two complementary fields:

• ergonomic seats, produced under the Manufacture des Cévennes brand;
• non-motorized exoskeletons, developed under the HAPO brand.

This industrial base is accompanied by a strong desire to promote local know-how and make a lasting contribution to the economic vitality of the Cévennes.

A committed vision of work and the company

During her appearance on the show, Dominique Seau shared a vision of work based on three strong convictions:

• Protect employees' health, thanks to ergonomically adapted tools.
• Prevent occupational risks, in particular MSDs, which today represent the 1ʳᵉ cause of occupational illnesses in France.
• Creating useful jobs that respect people and their dignity, with a focus on inclusion and localization.

His career path, which has taken him from major international corporations to the management of a committed industrial SME, illustrates this choice: return to the roots to give meaning to action and create a positive impact on the local area.

It's official: the ergonomic VENTOUX seat is now available. Designed and manufactured in Anduze, in the heart of the Manufacture des Cévennes, it ushers in a new era of comfort. Designed in our Adapted Company, this ergonomic bucket seat expresses all our know-how, between innovation and human commitment.

In 2025, we have chosen to give a new impetus to our commitment to the planet by planting 9,500 trees in Madagascar.

But behind these figures lies a story, a conviction, and above all a desire: to contribute, on our own scale, to the regeneration of ecosystems that are unique in the world.

Madagascar, a jewel to be preserved

Madagascar is an island of a thousand riches, home to animal and plant species found nowhere else. Yet every day, deforestation weakens its soils, forests and biodiversity.
Planting here means more than restoring trees: it means giving nature a chance to regain its balance.

Carefully selected trees

Each young plant to be planted has been carefully selected:

• species adapted to the local climate and soil,
• a diversity that fosters life and biodiversity,
• impeccable quality to guarantee a high trade-in rate.

Planting will take place during the rainy season, to provide the trees with the best growing conditions.

Restore, protect, pass on

This program doesn't stop at trees. It also contributes to :

• Restoring fragile soils,
• Create refuges for flora and fauna,
• Encouraging sustainable farming practices with local communities,
• Building more resilient ecosystems in the face of climate challenges.

Planting is not compensation

We deeply believe that planting does not mean "erasing" our footprint, but acting to repair, protect and support.
It's a way of anchoring actions in the present that will have a positive impact for future generations.

And if this project exists, it's also thanks to you, our customers and partners, who support us and encourage us to take concrete action. Together, we're proving that another way is possible.

A new feature has recently been installed at the Manufacture des Cévennes: a weaving loom, a powerful symbol of our determination to go further in the autonomy and control of our production.

Producing our own fabric means:
- promoting local know-how,
- reducing our carbon footprint,
- improving quality,
- and designing our seats from A to Z, here in Anduze.

In a region historically linked to weaving, reintroducing this technique means reconnecting with our roots while building for the future.

Result of the draw :

On September 1, we had the pleasure of announcing the winners of our grand contest dedicated to Vitra reconditioned chairs. After a draw, two participants will go home with emblematic seat models, refurbished by Manufacture des Cévennes.

The competition highlighted what drives us: giving a second life to high-end furniture and promoting sustainable comfort.

Sustainability and social responsibility have become top priorities. It is therefore crucial to re-evaluate the products we choose to buy and consume. With this in mind, we present the GARD chair, a symbol of innovative reconditioning and functional design.

Quality, comfort and accessibility

The GARD seat is more than just a seat. Meticulously designed, it embodies a forward-thinking approach that transforms end-of-life materials into remarkable products. This seat is a perfect illustration of our commitment to sustainability, where 50% of its mass comes from reused resources that would otherwise have been neglected or destined for landfill.

The story behind the GARD headquarters

The idea for the GARD seat came from the variety of used seats we received. Each seat was unique, but they all shared a common element: their chassis. So we decided to give these chairs a new lease of life by creating the GARD seat, with a refurbished chassis. This initiative reflects our commitment to offering a sustainable alternative while preserving the quality and comfort of a top-of-the-range product.

Outstanding features

This furniture is equipped with essential features such as adjustable lumbar support, 3-dimensional armrests for personalized comfort, and a dynamic rocking mechanism that promotes healthy, dynamic posture. Each component has been meticulously selected not only to offer optimum comfort, but also to reduce our environmental footprint.

When you choose a GARD chair, you're choosing more than just office furniture: you're actively helping to preserve the environment and support a circular economy. Every GARD chair represents a step towards a future where design and sustainability go hand in hand, offering both modern aesthetics and social awareness.

Whether you're looking to equip your workspace or furnish your home, GARD seating is the ideal choice for those who value innovation, comfort and social responsibility. Join us in this move towards a more ethical and sustainable way of consuming, where every purchase counts towards a better future.

In a world where sustainability and environmental responsibility are becoming priorities, Manufacture des Cévennes is taking a new step forward with the launch of its range of reconditioned office trays. In collaboration with our Adapted Company, which works with disabled people, we are reaffirming our commitment to the circular economy and to reducing our carbon footprint. These new office trays are not only practical and aesthetic solutions for your workspaces, but also a tangible way of contributing to a more sustainable future.

Give a second life to your workspaces

Just as we have done with our refurbished seating, our new office suites are designed using reused materials. Each piece is carefully selected, refurbished and transformed to meet the highest quality standards. This initiative reflects our desire to extend the life of existing resources, thereby reducing the demand for new raw materials and helping to preserve natural resources.

For sustainable, made-to-measure landscaping

An ergonomic and functional workspace is essential to employee well-being. Our renovated office floors not only offer a wide variety of styles and configurations to meet your specific needs, but also incorporate an important social dimension. Every purchase directly supports our mission of social inclusion, offering employment opportunities to those most in need in our community.

Working together for the environment

By choosing our recycled office trays, you're making a conscious choice for the environment. You're actively helping to reduce waste and promote a circular economy. What's more, you're creating a work area that encourages sustainability and respect for the environment, values that are increasingly crucial for companies and individuals concerned about the future of our planet.

For the past eleven months, the daily lives of the warehousemen at FRANSSEN LOISIRS have been radically changed thanks to the HAPO exoskeleton. This innovative device, which combines technology and ergonomics, promises to transform the way professionals in the sector deal with the physical constraints associated with their work. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), often invisible but painfully real, are a major scourge in the handling and warehousing professions. By providing targeted, effective support, this equipment is the ideal tool for improving employee comfort and safety.

Concrete relief from musculoskeletal disorders

Musculoskeletal disorders are a growing concern in the materials handling sector, affecting warehouse workers in particular. These aches and pains, often linked to repetitive movements and awkward postures, can lead to chronic disability if not properly managed. The HAPO exoskeleton, by providing targeted lumbar and back support, is proving a valuable asset in alleviating these problems. By distributing the workload in a more balanced way, it enables employees to reduce the risk of injury while improving their day-to-day comfort.

Testimonial to efficiency: The users' voice

In a recent video, a FRANSSEN LOISIRS warehouse worker shares his experience with this posture harness. In his own words, the equipment has not only made his physical tasks easier, but has also reduced the back pain he previously experienced. He describes the exoskeleton as lightweight, easy to maintain and compact enough not to impede his movements. This positive feedback confirms what many users have already noticed: the HAPO exoskeleton is designed to meet workers' needs while integrating harmoniously into their working environment.

The HAPO exoskeleton: Ideal assistance for improved working conditions

In addition to its ergonomic features, the HAPO exoskeleton is lightweight and easy to maintain. These are crucial elements that contribute to making it a practical solution for high-strain work environments. Unlike some bulkier devices, this equipment allows users to move freely while benefiting from valuable support. The combination of these qualities makes it an attractive choice for many companies seeking to optimize working conditions and safeguard the health of their employees.

A trial to consider?

If the HAPO exoskeleton has already proved its worth to a number of users, perhaps it's time for you to give it a try. With its clear benefits in terms of pain relief and improved comfort, it represents an opportunity not to be missed for anyone faced with physically demanding tasks. By integrating this tool into your daily work routine, you could discover a new level of well-being and productivity. So why not take the plunge and see for yourself the benefits of the HAPO exoskeleton ?

For several years now, we have been aware of the carbon footprint generated by our activities. This awareness has prompted us to actively seek solutions to offset our greenhouse gas emissions. Through various initiatives such as recycling, ethical sourcing, the circular economy and our photovoltaic farm, we strive to reduce our environmental impact as much as possible.

Our reforestation initiatives in Madagascar

Since 2022, we have extended our efforts by launching reforestation campaigns in the Madagascan highlands. These initiatives not only regenerate ecosystems, but also contribute to the creation of carbon sinks that are essential in the fight against climate change. For every seat sold, we offer our customers the opportunity to participate in these plantations as a carbon offset.

Commitment to sustainability and efficiency

Working in close collaboration with committed local partners, we rigorously monitor these projects to ensure their effectiveness and sustainability. This rainy season, we are proud to announce the planting of almost 2,000 trees. These trees will play a crucial role in absorbing around 43 tonnes of CO2 per year, actively contributing to our goal of carbon neutrality.

Building a sustainable future together

At Manufacture des Cévennes, we firmly believe that it is our duty to protect and preserve our environment for future generations. Every action counts, and together we can build a greener, more sustainable future. Join us in this endeavor and, together, let's be the agents of change needed to preserve our planet.

In the demanding field of aesthetic plastic surgery, where every gesture counts and precision is paramount, comfort and support for specialists are essential. Recently, aesthetic plastic surgeon Alexis Delobaux shared his experience with the HAPO FRONT, an innovative device designed to provide physical assistance to healthcare professionals during surgical procedures. His testimonial sheds light on the positive impact of this exoskeleton in a strenuous work environment. 

Alexis Delobaux's testimonial

Alexis Delobaux recently tested our HAPO FRONT and testifies to real assistance and relief, especially during repetitive body contouring surgery. He shares: "We really feel this comfort of use and this assistance to the surgeon's gestures to such an extent that we really don't have any post-op aches or difficulties compared to what we're used to."

The physical challenges facing plastic surgeons

Repetitive movements can significantly increase the risk of accidents and cause multiple musculoskeletal disorders. Prolonged standing can also increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. In addition, the other physical constraints inherent in the specialist's profession can also contribute to these pains. 

The solution: HAPO FRONT

But how can these risks be effectively prevented in the operating theatre? Our range ofHAPO exoskeletons offers a practical and proven solution in this field. Easy to use, they provide practical relief for the surgeon and encourage the adoption of good working postures.

Thanks to Alexis Delobaux for his confidence and his testimonial! To find out more about HAPO FRONT and our series of physical assistance devices, visit our website: https: //www.hapo.eu/fr/10-exosquelettes.
