AMIAUD wins the 2025 Vendéessentiels Trophies : Vendée’s tenacity and craftsmanship recognized
On December 11th, Vendée, l’Essentiel vient du cœur, organized by the CCI Vendée, hosted the latest edition of the Vendéessentiels Trophies — an event centered around people, the region, and shared values.
Each year, this ceremony highlights companies certified with the “Vendée, l’Essentiel vient du cœur” label, which embody excellence, solidarity, and pride within the Vendée economic community.
This year, AMIAUD, a manufacturer and equipment supplier for industry, nautical, and fishing sectors, certified ISO 9001, was immensely proud to win the 2025 Trophy in the “Work & Tenacity” category.
A strong commitment to Vendée and the local industry
A family business for over 50 years, AMIAUD upholds a clear vision: to produce locally, in Vendée, with high standards, passion, and respect for the region.
More than 63 % of our suppliers are located within 200 km, and our production remains 100 % French.
This choice, sometimes going against the trend of offshoring, reflects our commitment to fostering a responsible and sustainable industry deeply rooted in its territory.
Joining the label “Vendée, l’Essentiel vient du cœur” was a natural decision. This label perfectly embodies our values:
pride in a job well done,
the transmission of know-how,
and a genuine attachment to Vendée.
Through this label, we share a deep conviction: the future of industry lies in proximity, cooperation, and the passion of the people who bring it to life every day.
The “Work & Tenacity” pillar of the Vendéessentiels Trophies : a core value at AMIAUD
For this edition, AMIAUD chose to compete in the “Work & Tenacity” category, a pillar that sums up our story.
For decades, our company has moved forward with determination, driven by committed teams and a constant will to maintain industrial production in Vendée.
In the face of economic challenges, successive market crises, and globalization, we have remained true to our commitments : producing locally, modernizing our tools, diversifying our markets, and continuing to innovate.
Our ISO 9001 certification reflects this ongoing commitment to continuous improvement and rigor in serving our customers.
This tenacity is also embodied by our teams: loyal and passionate employees, with over 13 % participating in apprenticeship programs. Some former apprentices now hold positions of responsibility, which is a true source of pride for our company.
A moment of sharing and recognition
This event highlighted our collective commitment, celebrated our history, and allowed us to thank our teams for their work, passion, and dedication to the company.
We would like to thank the CCI Vendée and the Label Vendée, l’Essentiel vient du cœur for this wonderful evening of celebration, as well as all the participating companies that embody and keep alive the values of our region.
A collective victory !
Winning the 2025 Vendéessentiels Trophy in the “Work & Tenacity” category is a great source of pride for the entire AMIAUD team.
This award recognizes decades of hard work, resilience, and dedication in support of a local, sustainable, and people-centered industry.
Beyond the trophy itself, it celebrates a human adventure that of a company that believes in the power of teamwork, the value of craftsmanship, and the richness of its region.
This distinction inspires us more than ever to continue our mission : to manufacture in Vendée, to innovate with high standards, and to showcase French industrial know-how.
