Baudou:
Serving Professionals
Since 1910
Founded in 1910, Baudou initially produced rubber bicycle tires before transitioning to manufacturing boots and incorporating PVC and PU polymers. In 1997, the Humeau-Beaupréau Group acquired the brand and invested in its transformation, including a new factory, modernized tools and machines, and new molds to expand the product range. The focus shifted to injected products (garden boots and clogs), safety, and leisure footwear for outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, and gardening.
Today, Baudou is highly regarded among professionals, including cooperatives, industries, garden centers, and specialty stores. Its products are particularly well-suited for outdoor activities (hunting, fishing, gardening) and are adopted by numerous professions such as agriculture, food processing, construction, hygiene and healthcare, forestry, transport, handling, paramedics, and emergency medical services.
Baudou, alongside Umo and Méduse, is the only French manufacturer of boots and injected products in France.
Our Positioning
Baudou provides products for professionals focused on comfort and safety. For each activity, the brand offers products tailored to meet the most demanding usage requirements, as well as strict safety standards (chemical resistance, shock absorption, and durability). Innovation is at the heart of Baudou’s strategy… With Baudou, the brand has always stayed one step ahead since 1910!
The Brand Vision
A French Manufacturing Legacy
Since its creation, Baudou has been committed to preserving its know-how and workforce within French factories to safeguard local industrial jobs. The “Made in France” label remains a top priority for the company, synonymous with quality and excellence, for over a century. For products that cannot be manufactured locally, Baudou partners exclusively with European factories that share the same CSR philosophy.
Quality Commitment
Quality has always been the driving force behind Baudou’s success. To ensure this, Baudou has implemented rigorous internal control systems for many years. Additionally, the brand regularly conducts tests in independent laboratories, both on the raw materials used and the finished products, to maintain high standards of quality.
