A BRIEF HISTORY OF A FRENCH PRODUCER

Between 1860 and 1869 a new factory was built, designed by architect Henry Dauvergne. His design was innovative and ambitious: it had not only a huge space for workshops and warehouses but also administrative buildings, water towers, a workers' town with a hundred houses and even a clinic. In 1954, the company came into the hands of François Balsan, who introduced innovative technologies for producing carpets and rugs from the United States to the French market. The production of Balsan carpets was then gradually moved from Châteauroux to Arthon.

By the end of 1982, all production facilities were already in the new location. Purchased by the city in 1988, the historic site of the old Châteauroux factory remains an important part of the site, and today Balsan functions as the name of the city's ecological district. In 2001, the company already produced 10 million square meters of carpets per year, with over 200 employees not only in Arthon but also in Neuvy. As much as 45% of production was exported to about 75 countries.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT, THE BALSAN BRAND IS FOR YOU

As a green company, Balsan has long been aware of the risks associated with its production activities and always tries to limit their negative impact on the environment - given that designers and architects today are particularly sensitive to this issue and require the implementation of sustainable development principles. The company should take care to balance its needs for development and growth in the market with its social and environmental responsibilities. For this reason, everything is being done to reduce the negative environmental impact of Balsan carpet tile and carpet production, among other things by introducing ecological methods of product design and manufacture.

The company's environmental awareness has a long history, as the company has been continuously audited by the French environmental authorities since the 1970s. It controls the steps the company takes to prevent technological risks, reduce air and water pollution, reduce and properly eliminate waste, and rehabilitate any contaminated land and soils. Balsan has also developed the design and production method for Econyl 70, a high quality material consisting of 70% recycled yarn obtained at the end of the production process.

The factories carefully sort any waste after production and the resulting raw material, polyamide is then reused to produce the new Econyl 70 yarn. However, Balsan also does not forget about the aesthetics of the product. In order to preserve it, Econyl 70 is also used in combination with other untreated coloured fibres to achieve a wider, more attractive colour range.

HIGHEST CARE FOR COMFORT OF USE - BALSAN CARPET TILES ALSO HAVE HYPOALLERGENIC PROPERTIES

Worth mentioning is Balsan's SilverCare® protection system, which gives carpet tiles a long-lasting protective coating. Thanks to it, the brand's products are fully hypoallergenic, which is extremely important nowadays. The SilverCare® system is designed to provide resistance to bacteria, dust mites and unpleasant odours. Balsan carpet tiles leave the factory in perfect and clean condition. They are almost immediately installed and put into service - they never spend long months stored in dusty areas.

The silver ions contained in them are the secret of the SilverCare® system - they are released very slowly due to the humidity in the room and naturally fight against all hazards. This type of protection also guarantees maximum comfort. Walking on the Balsan carpets in tiles is a pure pleasure. However, it should be kept in mind that nothing lasts forever without regular and effective cleaning with a vacuum cleaner. Also, daily ventilation helps to improve the air quality and properties of your Balsan products. Balsan Protect® (protection against stains and dirt) and Balsan SilverCare® are almost a 100% guarantee of your safety and comfort.
