La Brosserie Française
Toothbrushes and brush products, French manufacturing in Beauvais since 1845, bio-sourced materials
Philosophy
Making brushes in France since 1845. La Brosserie Française proves that industry, ecology and local manufacturing can coexist. Each Bioseptyl toothbrush is an act of resistance against disposable imports.
History
Beauvais, Thérain valley, 1845. Alphonse Dupont founds a brush factory. The Thérain provides water, the region provides bristles and wood. For 180 years, French brushes are made here.
The company survives everything, wars, industrialization, globalization. When China floods the market with 50-cent toothbrushes, almost everyone surrenders. Not Beauvais. La Brosserie Française (formerly La Brosse et Dupont) stays. It's now the last major French toothbrush manufacturer.
The ecological turn comes with Bioseptyl: interchangeable-head toothbrush, French beech wood handle, castor oil or recycled nylon bristles. Keep the handle, change the head. Simple, logical, and avoids throwing away plastic every 3 months.
The factory combines modern robotics with inherited expertise. The EPV label is obtained in 2022, official recognition of a living industrial craft. In a world of disposable imported toothbrushes, La Brosserie Française is a virtuous anomaly.
