Armor Lux is a French company specializing in hosiery with headquarters in Brittany. It was founded in 1938.
After its takeover in 1993, the brand diversified its collection in order to increase its sales.
The company bought out several competitors in the 2000s and specialized in technical and safety clothing. In the 2000s, the group relocates about 40% of its production abroad
At the same time, the group is developing its range of ECOCERT certified organic products. It works in particular with the public sector and has won many important tenders for the supply of technical and professional clothing.
In 2010, the group tries to diversify its business by opening several new stores in delicatessen, kitchen products, or cultural products like records or books. In 2018, the group signed a contract with Renault to develop a limited edition of its Renault Kadjar.
