What they make

According to their website, SOKOA is a French manufacturer of professional seating and office furniture, founded in 1971 in Hendaye in the Basque Country as an employee-ownership initiative; today all employees are shareholders. Its range covers executive, task/operator, 24/7-use and technical/ergonomic seating, plus conference and training chairs, sofas, lounge seating, modular benches, poufs, stools, tables, shelving, partitions and outdoor furniture. Production takes place at its own Hendaye site, spanning over 27,000 m² of manufacturing floor, turning out roughly 435,000 seats a year, with about 1,900 units shipped daily. The site carries out upholstery work (cutting, sewing, stapling) and assembles products built from up to 55 components. Products carry a "fabrication française" designation. SOKOA holds ISO 9001 (since 2003) and ISO 14001 certification, offers NF Environnement-labeled ranges, and commits to an 8-year spare-parts availability window. It co-founded Valdelia, a professional-furniture take-back and recycling scheme, and also runs a second-life/refurbished seating marketplace. The company employs over 270 people, generates about 55 million euros in revenue, and is present in more than 60 export markets.
