The Group is said to represent excellence in the textile sector, has solid financial and industrial foundations with production sites in Italy, France and Indonesia, and serves the entire European market and a large part of the Asian market. The continuity guaranteed by the generational change will ensure a sustainable long-term vision for customers, suppliers and the Group`s more than 700 employees.

“I am proud to be continuing the family adventure, and aware of the responsibility that comes with the job,” says Paul Devilder. “I am also proud, after five years of learning alongside him, to be taking over from Christophe Lambert, a fervent defender of European industry, a visionary and a profoundly human person. My personal commitment is to lead the Group by supporting the growth of companies and people, by focusing even more on the services we provide to our customers, the pleasure of working together, and innovation in ever more technical and responsible fabrics. I have every confidence in the teams we have in place to work together to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.”

Christophe Lambert expressed gratitude for his 30-year leading the textile group, emphasizing a commitment to long-term industrial excellence and a positive economy. He happily hands over the chairmanship to Paul, marking the 5th generation of the Coisne and Lambert families in the textile industry, and expressed confidence in the team`s ability to continue the group`s industrial, technological, European, and sustainable legacy while wishing Paul success in his role.
