Terraillon is a French SME that has been around for over a century. In 1981, the company was acquired by Bernard Tapie for a symbolic franc, and it has since undergone several changes in ownership. Despite these changes, Terraillon has remained a dominant force in the industry, with a 40% market share and an official supplier of scales for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris 2024.
Terraillon’s equipment is built to withstand demanding tasks, whether it’s weighing a canoe, dinghy or heavyweight judoka like Teddy Riner standing at 2 meters tall and weighing 140 kg. The company’s recent repositioning focused on well-being in a broad sense, expanding its product offerings to include small household appliances, alarm clocks and connected devices. This move speaks volumes about Terraillon’s adaptability to changing market demands and its enduring legacy as a heritage brand.
