Coverguard, a leading player in the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) market, announces that it has entered into exclusive negotiations for the acquisition of LMA, the iconic French company founded in 1880.
With more than 140 years of industrial heritage and recognised expertise in the design and distribution of technical garments, workwear and body protection equipment, LMA holds a leading position in the French market.
A well-established player in the workwear sector since 1880, the LMA brand protects professionals across all industries through a portfolio of 450 products and more than 3,000 references.
The combination of COVERGUARD and LMA is built on strong complementarities in product ranges, expertise and product culture. It brings together COVERGUARD’s multi specialist approach to PPE with LMA’s longstanding expertise in workwear and body protection. This new milestone further strengthens COVERGUARD’s ambition to become a leading European player in the PPE market.
This complementarity creates new opportunities for growth, particularly in terms of product innovation, portfolio expansion and enhanced services for distribution partners.
Committed to a responsible approach to business development, Coverguard and LMA share strong sustainability values. Coverguard has achieved the highest level, “Exemplary”, under the “Engagé RSE” certification framework, while LMA has been awarded an EcoVadis Platinum rating.
