At Nogent***, quality is not merely claimed; it is demonstrated at every stage of production. For over a century, the brand has been designing and manufacturing its knives in France with a constant commitment to precision, durability and technical expertise.
This commitment has been recognised with the award of the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label, an official distinction from the French government that honours companies with exceptional craftsmanship. This recognition confirms Nogent’s core identity: combining tradition, innovation and local manufacturing.
This label highlights the high standards upheld by Nogent. At its workshops in Biesles, in the Haute-Marne region, the brand oversees every stage of the manufacturing process, from cutting the blades to the final sharpening.
This integrated approach ensures consistent quality whilst preserving a genuine culture of craftsmanship. Each knife is the result of a balance between technical precision and human experience, between industry and craftsmanship.
The EPV label does not merely recognise tradition; it also celebrates the ability to innovate. Nogent embodies this spirit by evolving its products whilst remaining true to its core values.
The introduction of technologies such as micro-toothing, or the development of more sustainable materials, illustrates this commitment to bringing traditional craftsmanship into the modern age, without ever compromising its essence.
The EPV label is a true mark of quality. It identifies products designed in France to high standards of quality and durability.
Choosing Nogent means choosing a brand renowned for its high standards, its local roots and its ability to produce reliable tools designed to last.
As well as quality, the EPV label also promotes a responsible approach to production.
Nogent is committed to this approach by:
- prioritising short supply chains
- selecting sustainable materials
- minimising its environmental impact
- supporting local employment
An approach that is consistent with the aim of producing better and in a more responsible manner.
It confirms Nogent***’s position as a leading player in the French cutlery industry and guarantees users products crafted with the utmost care, precision and dedication.
