LMA, a story of tradition

The LMA saga: 7 generations serving workwear

 

In the demanding world of professional clothing, one brand stands out for its heritage, commitment to quality and attention to detail: LMA. Join us in exploring the fascinating history of this French family business, from its modest beginnings in 1880 to its current status as a leader in the field of workwear.

 

The roots of excellence

The evolution of a family brand

 

The history of LMA is a family saga that begins with the creation of Lebeurre SAS company in 1880. This French company, located in Querrieu in the Somme department, specializes in the design of professional clothing, hunting and leisure wear. Since then, under the direction of seven generations of the Lebeurre family, LMA has forged a solid reputation in the workwear universe. This brand embodies the very essence of "made in France" in terms of work clothing. But how can a company span more than a century of history while maintaining its relevance in a constantly evolving world?

  

Adaptation and innovation

 

One of the keys to LMA's longevity lies in its ability to evolve in harmony with society's changing needs. Originally, the company was recognized for its corduroy outfits, robust and comfortable, intended for farmers. These work clothes were also highly valued by outdoor enthusiasts and hunters, particularly in rural areas. However, over time, France experienced increasing industrialization and rapid urbanization, transforming the demand for work clothing.

It was at this moment that LMA took a decisive turn by expanding its offering. The company began designing professional outfits and personal protective equipment (PPE) for various sectors, particularly industry. This diversification was one of the key factors in its continued success.

 

 

The LMA product range

 

Today, LMA offers an impressive range of more than 8000 references, including work clothing and a portion of personal protective equipment. One of the brand's major assets is its ability to quickly respond to a variety of demands, whether for a few pieces or several thousand. This responsiveness is essential in a professional sector where deadlines and product availability are imperatives.

LMA has a 6000 m² storage platform near its headquarters in Querrieu, in the Somme department. The company plans to expand this site to reach 18000 m² of storage space, with the possibility of further extension. This platform is crucial to guarantee the responsiveness needed for professional sector requirements, which demand fast and reliable supplies.

 

LMA production

 

LMA constantly seeks to optimize the quality-price ratio of its products. This is why, although manufacturing in France is no longer feasible for the company, it remains very involved in the production chain. LMA products are designed in-house by its research and design office in Querrieu. The company collaborates with weaving partners to develop its own fabrics, and provides 100% of the fabrics and accessories such as closures and buttons to manufacturing factories.

Depending on the expertise of each factory, clothing manufacturing takes place in different parts of the world, particularly in North Africa and Asia. This geographical diversity allows LMA to combine French manufacturing quality with the competitiveness of international production costs. The company ensures meticulous production monitoring to guarantee that each product meets its strict quality standards.

LMA is the embodiment of constant innovation and adaptation over time, making it a major player in the workwear market, in France and abroad. This century-old brand continues to thrive by anticipating society's changing needs and providing superior quality work clothing, as well as essential PPE, to a diverse clientele.

Since 1880, this French family business has managed to evolve to meet the changing needs of workers, while maintaining its reputation for excellence.
