Rewarded with the TPE 2022 grand prize!

20th edition of the TPE awards

A few months ago, we decided to submit an application to participate in the 2022 Small Business Award, awarded by the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Hérault and Haute-Garonne. It was the beginning of a fabulous adventure.

First step: audit of our company

It all began with a company audit conducted by two juries who came to Nailloux (31) to meet us in our workshop. A moment of exchange to show us around our premises and discuss our company philosophy. We discussed a wide range of topics so that each audited candidate was assessed using the same grid.

Awarded the departmental “Piloter” prize

We passed the first step by attending the awards ceremony of the departmental competition where we won one of the four trophies, the “pilot” prize . A motivating first victory since we were in competition with fifty-one other deserving companies from Haute-Garonne.

Hérault and Haute-Garonne departmental final

Laurent, the brand's co-founder, pitched in front of a jury, this time in an attempt to win the regional award. The four companies from the Haute-Garonne department presented their projects, along with the four other winners from Hérault who had been recognized during the previous round.

The regional TPE 2002 awards ceremony took place at the Palais des congrès du Cap-d'Agde. The awards include well-being, piloting, doing, reinventing, etc., as well as the 2022 TPE Grand Prix , the Holy Grail!

Petits Cadors receives the 2022 TPE grand prize!

We are proudly returning home, a big prize for a very small business is super cool 😄

“The 2022 Small Business Prize was awarded to the company Petits Cadors based in Nailloux (31). Created by Laurent Padiou and his wife Muriel, Petits Cadors is a family story. In line with the “slow life” movement and because resting is as essential as eating or drinking, the company manufactures original and ergonomic cushions for everyday life. 100% made in France extra cushions with a new design, a stylistic approach and unparalleled comfort thanks to the use of materials that are those of bedding professionals. The cushion filling also comes from the collection of plastic bottles in waterways to protect the oceans.” , announces the Métropolitain .

We are very proud of this distinction

It recognizes several ambitious decisions: French manufacturing, the creation of our own manufacturing workshop, and the use of recycled materials (filling fiber). This award clearly demonstrates a political commitment to supporting the relocation and development of the textile industry in France! It is also a strong sign of the promotion of companies that are committed to an eco-responsible approach.

Thanks to theChambers of Commerce and Industry of Hérault and Haute-Garonne , as well as to our partners, particularly the Occitanie Region, without whom this would not have been possible. And congratulations to all the participants! This concludes an adventure rich in emotion.
