For nearly 100 years, SAM LABIGNE EQUIPEMENT has been a renowned shop fitter, bringing its expertise to major national brands and leading project owners.
The company
Founded in 1926 in Normandy, the SAM LABIGNE joinery company quickly specialized in shop fitting. In 1961, it moved to Lisieux to expand the mass production of commercial furniture. Its traditional woodworking expertise was enhanced by the mastery of metal, glass and lighting integration. From 1990 onward, SAM LABIGNE EQUIPEMENT developed its expertise in furniture designed in collaboration with architects and designers. In 2012, the company relocated to its current site in Hermival-les-Vaux. Today, with its ability to industrialize commercial furnishing concepts while ensuring large-scale rollout, SAM LABIGNE EQUIPEMENT completes nearly 300 site installations per year in France and across Europe.
