A sharp partnership for industrial performance

OPINEL needs no introduction. It is an iconic brand found in the pockets of all hikers, fishermen, and outdoor enthusiasts.

A symbol of French craftsmanship for over 130 years, the famous Opinel folding knife, recognized worldwide for its authenticity and quality, relies on CONDAT’s expertise for the quality, productivity, and comfort of its workshops.

This precision machining, which ensures the sharpness and perfect finish of the knives, requires lubricants that offer both technical performance and comfort for operators. After several months of technical discussions with our teams and testing, our solution π‚πŽππƒπ€π‚πŽπŽπ‹ πŸπŸ‘πŸ“ 𝐁𝐁𝐅 has been selected for the entire Opinel fleet.
