A story
More than 50 years of experience
In 1968: Creation of the Ateliers de Tertre by a few parents and friends of handicapped people in order to ensure the daily occupation of their children while allowing them to value themselves through work.
A beautiful story that continues today...
A social objective
Our goal is the integration and social recognition of people with disabilities by providing them with a rewarding and adapted job.
We wish to maintain a company with a human dimension and allow our workers to find their place in a benevolent framework.
An economic objective

Currently, the Workshops employ more than 300 people working on 7.5 hectares of which 10,000 m² are built.
An adapted work company
What is an ETA?
Une entreprise de travail adapté (ETA) est une entreprise d’économie sociale qui a pour mission prioritaire de favoriser l’inclusion par le travail de la personne en situation de handicap :
- by enabling them to access useful, adapted and paid work;
- by allowing him/her to train, to improve professionally and to develop his/her skills in a continuous way.
Workers with disabilities are hired by ETAs under an employment contract, which provides them with a guaranteed level of pay, social status and job security, in working conditions adapted to their efficiencies.
Each team of workers is supervised by monitors who demonstrate recognized technical and social skills. This supervision ensures the quality of the work performed.
The ETAs are not-for-profit organizations, but they operate like real companies. Every day, they carry out careful work and produce quality products for their customers, within the allotted time and at market prices.
Why work with us?
- You are looking for flexibility and customized solutions to meet your needs!
- You favor a local, experienced partner with attractive prices
- You participate in a social project by helping people with disabilities to integrate into the working world
