Guy Cotten

Who we are

Guy Cotten was created in the town of Concarneau, in Brittany, in 1964. It currently covers a large majority of the world market (more than 30 countries) of marine clothing with subsidiaries in Great Britain, Spain, the USA, Sweden, Morocco and a very wide distributor network. Innovation “drives” the company’s development, adapting to satisfy the expectations of its users and very often anticipating future requirements.

Guy Cotten has specialized in personal protective equipment (PPE) for more than 50 years. We design clothing for people who require proper protection against bad weather and the cold to enable them to work. Our capacity to listen drives us to innovate continuously, improve our products and patent new designs: “Isolatech”, the “Magic” Hood. With its usual energy, Guy Cotten has developed a major innovation: the HybridPro+ technique!

Our values

OUR MANUFACTURING KNOW-HOW

Guy Cotten has become the undisputed expert in high frequen- cy welding (HF) and thermo-taped seams. For over 50 years we have been designing and manufacturing our clothing with great precision to be able to offer a professional quality second to none. From the design of the product to the tools for manu- facturing it, everything is made in our factories.
Our idea of sustainable development: effectiveness and tough- ness are the qualities required by our customers for their protec- tive clothing. These are our requirements and they contribute to developing customer loyalty to our brand. This approach is also more economical than using ‘disposable’ products, implying less renewal, fewer raw materials consumed, and therefore less waste to treat. This very simple gesture is beneficial to and has an immediate impact on the future of our earth.
Fair trade: To guarantee the constant quality of our materials, we are loyal to our suppliers which, where possible, are also very close to our factories, minimizing our carbon footprint. We favour employment in our regions, which is a guarantee of the continuation of our know-how.
