LOCALLY MANUFACTURED SINCE OUR CREATION
We have chosen to manufacture in France to revitalize the local industrial fabric, preserve our know-how and create jobs that cannot be relocated.
It's a choice of the heart!
We wanted to work with partners who were close to us, so that we could grow alongside them.
For each product, we forge a relationship of trust with an industrial partner in France, and invest sustainably in a unique manufacturing mold. This proximity also means we can deliver without long journeys or planes.
ILE-DE-FRANCE, CRADLE OF THE ORIGINAL BOTTLE
Since the creation of Gobi, thousands of original water bottles have rolled off the presses of our long-standing partner Microplast, in Périgny-sur-Yerres.
It is thanks to his confidence that we were able to launch in 2010!
The original bottle is made from copolyester, a high-quality reusable plastic that holds up well to washing. It contains no BPA or BPS, and has the advantage of being transparent, odorless and resistant.
The choice of this material was made in conjunction with our Mu eco-design agency and a materials researcher , to incorporate a precautionary principle that goes beyond health regulations, all under the supervision of ADEME.
All our materials are also tested and validated in independent laboratories, both on new materials and after ageing simulations.
BOTTLE INDOOR, NUMBER "AIN
The result of a collaboration with glassmaker Verallia, bottle indoor boasts the first bottle glass bottle made entirely in France . The bottle is blown and 60% of the material is recycled glass, all manufactured in Lagnieu, in the Ain region near Lyon.
" Considering its age, it's a site with a soul. Most of the people who work here are proud to do so. Glassmaking is a noble profession. For many of them, it's the third or fourth generation to be employed here," says plant manager Patrice Copin.
The hull of the bottle is manufactured at Standard Gum in Bourges, using a flexible biosourced plastic made from 40% sugar cane.
LES GOURDES STREET, BURGUNDIAN TO THE CORE
The two lightest models in the range, the 50 cl and 1 L street bottles, are made at Frapak in Gron, Yonne.
The factory uses a blow-molding technique to produce their rounded bodies.
Like its predecessor, the bottle original, it is made from copolyester, a high-quality reusable plastic that poses no health risk.
CUTLERY MADE IN AUVERGNE
Gobi has teamed up with Verdier, a family-owned cutlery manufacturer since 1859 located near Thiers, to create its cutlery kit. The excellence of its know-how has earned the Maison Verdier the Entreprise du Patrimoine vivant (Living Heritage Company) label!
Gobi cutlery is made from 82% recycled material of European origin. If we don't use 100% recycled material, it's quite simply to ensure that our material complies with health standards and is perfectly suited to its intended use (light and strong at the same time).
Their case is made from production offcuts from our original water bottles, in our historic factory. The circle is complete!
UNE LUNCH-BOX NÉE DANS LE LOIRET
Comme un écho à notre enfance, le bol en verre de la lunch box Gobi est fabriquée par l'entreprise Duralex à la Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin.
Sa sangle personnalisée vient quand-à-elle de Géovreisset dans l'Ain, et de Comines, dans le Nord.
La lunch Gobi est parfaite pour aller chercher vos plats à emporter au bureau, pour des déjeuners zéro déchet et 100% plaisir français !

A CARD THAT CAN BE PERSONALIZED WITH LOGO + FIRST NAME
Each of our water bottles and lunch boxes can be personalized with a card, as seen here clipped onto the cap.
The cards are printed in France on PEFC-certified paper. Card personalization is offered for orders of 100 or more. On the reverse side, users can write their first name to identify their bottle or meal box at a glance, and guarantee its adoption.
YOUR STAMPED LOGO
Our products can be pad printed (from 100 units - on quotation) thanks to our partner Polyprint based in Seine-et-Marne.
This is a process that uses a silicone pad to transfer the ink of your logo onto bottle.
This marking allows you to print on a rounded shape with excellent quality and precision. The marking is dishwasher-safe and will not deteriorate over time.

AN ASSEMBLY THAT SUPPORTS INCLUSIVE EMPLOYMENT
Depuis 2014, nous travaillons en étroit partenariat avec l’Établissement et Service d’Aide par le Travail (ESAT) de Mandres-les-Roses, situé dans le Val-de-Marne, à 5 minutes de notre usine historique.
Une fois sortis des sites de production, les produits Gobi sont tous assemblés là-bas par des personnes en situation de handicap.
Ci-contre, on vous présente Johana, notre super coordinatrice qui travaille en direct de l'ESAT !
