The mayor of Aussillon, Fabrice Cabral, was recently received in a growing company. Guiraud Mousse has just moved to Boulevard du Thoré, in the former Stella factory, which has been completely rehabilitated. These municipal visits to entrepreneurs aim to better know and listen to those who have chosen to create value and jobs in Aussillon. This link with investors and entrepreneurs is a key element of the municipality’s attractiveness policy.
Paul-Louis Guiraud, 46, third generation of textile entrepreneurs, continued and consolidated, to further develop it, the activity of industrial processing of polyurethane or polyethylene foams, created by his grandfather at the end of the years. 50 for the sponges, then his father for the mattresses. Guiraud Mousse employs thirteen people, with a high level of qualification and experience on various numerical or manual machine tools.
Diversification and growth
The main production concerns mattresses, foam shapes (upholstery) for the automobile or nautical industry, either in finished, semi-finished or processed materials, in particular foams reinforced with textiles. 2019 revenue reached € 2.4 million, and cumulative investments over the last three years € 1.3 million for real estate alone. Indeed, the factory has been completely refurbished for optimized working conditions and more growth. The main customer of Guiraud Mousse represents 15% of its turnover, the variety and the number of customers protect the company from possible risks. The strong constraints linked to the health crisis were properly absorbed. In addition to cost control, allowing it to be competitive on large orders, the structure offers agility and reactivity appreciated by the market.
A showroom with new products
It delivers throughout France and thinks about exporting within the European Union. In addition, Guiraud Mousse presents in its showroom its latest mattress productions and accepts orders from individuals up to “tailor-made” unique pieces, in creation or renovation.
