Keeping the local economy going.

By purchasing a Zephyr Wing you are supporting the local economy. In order of the manufacturing process, here is the French production chain:

  • the materials are laser cut by a partner in La Rochelle,

  • the fabrics are glued and sewn by 3 independent workshops in the south of France,

  • the bladders are made in Trappes by Michelin,

  • the insignia logos are made by a French company,

  • the bags are made in France by an independent workshop,

  • 3D parts are made in France,

  • sewing machines are purchased in French stores,

  • all the haberdashery (thread, double-sided rolls, insignia, needle) is purchased from a company based in France.

Regarding the materials, their origins differ:

  • Dyneema comes from Finland and the USA.

  • The ZL and CZ come from Germany.

​

So the material is created in Europe or comes to Europe to stay there. Most of the production is sold in Europe. The supply chain is therefore much more economical in terms of carbon footprint. Indeed, the classic diagram of the fabric supply chain corresponds more to Europe -> China -> Europe.
