Founded in 2013 by Éric Roussel, NEO has been committed to local, responsible manufacturing from the outset, from its workshop on the shores of Lake Annecy. Savoie Mont Blanc Excellence* accredited, the brand has gradually established itself as a recognized player in paragliding equipment. Building on its expertise, NEO has broadened its field of activity by launching a range of technical backpacks in 2022.
NEO sets itself apart by being the only company to manufacture technical backpacks in France, a distinction that testifies to a strong commitment to maintaining and promoting local know-how. This commitment has now been rewarded with the prestigious “Origine France Garantie” certification, awarded at the tradeshow “Made in France”. This certification, the only one to guarantee the French origin of products, has been awarded to two ranges: backpacks and paragliding harnesses.
“Obtaining this certification is a source of immense pride for our team and recognition of the work accomplished to promote high-quality local manufacturing. It is also a token of confidence for our customers, who can be assured of purchasing products made in France, with all the care and requirements that this implies.”
Eric Roussel, founder of NEO.
