Monnet Company history

In a city where men work in the mines, women knit at home: it is a way to make something of their time and to assume a complementary income for the family.

At that time, Mr Monnet is hosier. Manufacturers from Montceau-les-mines ask him for some contract manufacturing and the company begins to expand.

1938: After moving to Savoie in the French Alps , Mr Monnet gets involved in the making of sport socks. He buys a sock knitting machine, the Komet gauge 3 to manufacture his first sport socks.

1939: Because of the war, and the scarcity of raw materials, he creates the brand TRICOBEL, which manufactures gloves, a product which needs fewer raw materials to be produced.

1952: First professional fair in Germany that leads to a partnership with the French national ski team. This event is a turning point in the history of the company.

Over the years Monnet becomes the reference in ski socks and gradually expands into other sport sectors: trekking, cycling, tennis, golf, hunting, etc…

Today Monnet covers all sport segments with high quality products. Search for perfection is engrained in the Company culture from design to final quality inspection. Although Monnet utilises some of the most recent circular electronic knitting machines, the Company has maintained an attitude of true “Craftman”.

In 2007 the company evolves it Brand identity and positioning
