About the owner: Groupe Eram
Groupe Eram is a privately held company headquartered in Montrevault-sur-Èvre, France, founded in 1927. Brandtree records 9 brands under its control.
Groupe Eram is a French family-owned footwear, clothing and accessories group based in the Maine-et-Loire since 1927 and run by the third generation of the Biotteau family, with Xavier Biotteau as president. Its legal entity is ERAM SAS, with its registered office at Saint-Pierre-Montlimart in Montrevault-sur-Èvre. It says it still makes shoes at its own workshop at Montjean-sur-Loire and presents ten brands: Eram, Bocage, Mellow Yellow, TBS, Montlimart, Sessile, Gémo, Dresco, Parade and Bofilon. Dresco is left out here because it distributes shoes for other brands under licence rather than being a consumer brand.
