We are based in Roubaix, and that is no coincidence.
Roubaix is a city shaped by work and industry.
The city’s industrial development is closely linked to its textile heritage, and its history helped shape significant areas of French employment law.
Jean-Baptiste Lebas, Mayor of Roubaix and French Minister of Labour in 1936, played a key role in the legislation introducing paid leave.
Our offices are located at 24 avenue Jean Lebas.
Roubaix was also a pioneering city in employer-supported housing initiatives, including the contribution mechanism used to finance new housing construction.
Located in the heart of Roubaix in the former Motte-Bossut textile mill, the French National Archives of the World of Work (ANMT) collect, classify, preserve, make available and promote the archives of economic and professional organisations, including companies, trade unions, works councils, professional bodies and associations active in the world of work.
Roubaix is home to many internationally active businesses, including the 4th largest data-hosting provider worldwide (and the leading European provider), a global gaming and MMORPG company, one of Europe’s major clothing distributors for older consumers, and an economic interest grouping supporting the economic interests of a global retail leader, among many others.
