Will and philosophy

Proprietary of the Savonnerie du Midi since 2013, PRODEF is a historical actor of the hygiene and maintenance sector. Since its creation in 1924, the 4 generations of leaders have accompanied its development by a common ambition: sustainable development.

Owner of the Savonnerie du Midi since 2013, the PRODEF Group has been working since its creation in 1924 with the desire to produce according to sustainable and responsible processes, in accordance with traditions.

Thus we were labeled “Entrepreneurs + Engagés” by ECOCERT Environment. This label, created by the FEEF (Federation of Companies and Entrepreneurs of France) is designed to value French SMEs who contribute to the maintenance of local employment and are committed to a social and environmental responsibility approach.

La Savonnerie du Midi is also actively involved in the Union des Professionnels du Savon de Marseille (UPSM) for the defense of the Savon de Marseille authentic.

PRODEF is also one of the few 100% French capital companies that continue to focus on manufacturing in national territory. Attached to the traditional know-how and responsible manufacturing processes, PRODEF has, since the acquisition of the Savonnerie du Midi, taken many initiatives to develop quality products and make them labélize. Thus new ecological products certified by Ecocert have emerged.

PRODEF has also put in place since the end of 2013 a comprehensive quality approach in its manufacturing processes and launched an ambitious programme to refurbish its historic site and its boilers, including the Musée du Savon de Marseille and the opening of a factory shop. A true entrepreneurial approach that combines modernity and respect for traditions.

These processes of continuous improvement and quality are an integral part of PRODEF’s policy. They are proof of the requirement that we carry to satisfy our customers.
