Four joint companies, all specialized in marine<br />
equipment, form the Losange Group: Facnor (furling<br />
and reefing systems), <strong>Sparcraft</strong> (mast & spars),<br />
<strong>Sparcraft</strong>-US (located in the USA) and <strong>Sparcraft</strong><br />
Rigging. The activity of the subsidiaries being complementary,<br />
the Losange Group is able to offer a full<br />
mast/rigging/furling system package and remains<br />

The Losange Group, focusing on a long-term based development, has become one of the<br />
leaders in the worldwide marine industry. This pole position results from great involvement<br />
in innovation – supported by an engineering synergy (design and development<br />
centre) – and from a constant dialogue with customers. A wide distribution network in France<br />
and abroad also explains this successful growth.<br />
