How it's made · Montpellier workshop

From steel bar to your home

Table legs, shelves, wall brackets: every Ripaton product follows the same path, from Spanish steel all the way to your door. Most of the making happens in France, in our Montpellier workshop.

The journey of a Ripaton product

  1. 01Spain

    Our steel comes from Spain

    Our steel comes from Spain. It is delivered by truck to our workshop in Montpellier.

    Arrival at the workshop

    Every delivery is checked on arrival, then sorted by section and length before going into production.

    Shaping and finishing

    Once the parts arrive, we bend, curve and grind them in the workshop, depending on the model. Made-to-measure pieces are shaped to the exact dimensions you choose.

    Welding

    Every piece is assembled and welded by hand by our welders, then prepared for coating.

  5. 05Powder-coating partner

    Off to be coated

    The parts go to our powder-coating partner. The powder paint is baked in an oven for a thick, durable finish, then everything comes back to the workshop.

    Quality check

    Every piece is checked when it comes back: colour, finish, welds and dimensions. Anything that isn't perfect doesn't leave.
