20 years of innovation
1997
Marin's is a French company created more than 20 years ago by Sylvie Dugain and François L'Hôtel. As an advertising agency, Marin's created in 1997, in response to its customer's request a standard column, which combines an accommodating folding / unfolding value as well as an automatic opening to the appropriate shape and dimensions and allowing the optimization of print and material.François l'Hôtel decided to protect his invention with a worldwide patent.
Since then, Marin's has chosen to be dedicated to the Lamà and its development whereas our competitors seem to be unable to develop anything other than counterfeiting our system.
The original concept benefits from a constant development in its sizes, shapes and options to offer an extensive range of smart and attractive products. The client's expectations demand that Marin's keeps creating new environments, new applications, and new designs in a constant willingness to defend its industrial property rights. The concept will go over the borders: the whole world will fancy the French designed Lamà.
