A Family History
The Depestele group is a family business that has been involved in linen processing since 1850. Europe’s leading private flax producer, with 3 production sites in Normandy, the Depestele Group is involved in everything from flax cultivation to scutching and combing. The group collects flax from all over Normandy, as well as from the Île-de-France and Brittany regions, in collaboration with over 900 farmers.
Research and Development
Since 2009, Depestele has structured its R&D department to promote the use of flax products and co-products in composite materials. The group then set up a technical linen production center for the manufacture of reinforcements. Since 2019, the Depestele Group has been ISO9001 certified for the design, development and production of technical semi-finished products from flax fibers.
