What are our score counters made of ?

We use aluminium as it has a combination of useful properties. It is one of the lightest metals in the world, almost three times lighter than iron, it’s also very strong. It is mainly used for the manufacture of bicycle frames, car bodies and wheel rims.

Aluminum has the advantage of being fully recyclable, without losing its properties thanks to its infinite life cycle.

Additionally, its resistance to corrosion considerably reduces the need for maintenance. A protective oxide layer forms naturally on the surface of aluminum when it comes into contact with air. The surface treatment and powder coating that we give the metal allows our score counters to be extremely resistant to bad weather so that they can remain outdoors throughout the year.

How are our score counters painted ?

Our score counters are first hung in lines and given a surface treatment intended to improve the paint’s adhesiveness. 

After rinsing then drying, the colour is added by powder coating. This operation consists of carrying out electrostatic powdering of the paint followed by polymerization in the oven.

Our score counters can thus take on all the colors and surface finishes offered by manufacturers of industrial powder coatings.

Where are our score counters made?

All our models are designed and manufactured in the south-east of France. We have chosen local producers who might be more costly than those in Asia but add value to our regional economy and highlight the quality of our craftsmen. Their proximity allows us to rapidly develop our products and to adopt a more environmentally friendly approach, mainly by reducing long-distance transport costs.

How are our score counters packaged?

Our packing crates for shipments are made from FSC-certified French cardboard, a guarantee of eco-responsible and sustainable management of our forests. Our commitment to a “clean” packaging approach has also led us to design specific cushioning foams made up of more than 65% recycled material but above all that is 100% recyclable.

To complete this process and replace the plastic bags that housed the screws and documentation for our supports, we have designed a recycled cardboard case with two independent compartments: screws and tools on one side, french & english assembly instructions on the other.
