Startup EverEver has officially entered the race to acquire Brandt, unveiling a bold plan to revive cooking appliance production at the historic Vendôme site. The proposal centers on a sustainable, economically viable industrial model designed to rebuild local manufacturing and create long-term value. 

If successful, the relaunch would begin with cooktop production, followed by a gradual expansion into ovens in 2028. Founder Martin Hacpille envisions a fully operational industrial hub by 2029, with the potential to generate nearly 150 new jobs. 

The deadline for bids on Brandt’s assets is Friday, January 29th. EverEver’s announcement follows the earlier submission by Metavisio–Thomson Computing, led by Stephan Français in December. Unlike its competitor, EverEver’s strategy combines distribution partnerships, durable product design, and crowdfunding to build momentum.

A Mission Rooted in Durability and Local Manufacturing

“Since day one, EverEver’s mission has been to design and deliver durable, aesthetically pleasing, upgradeable, and locally manufactured household appliances,” says Hacpille. “Our products stand as a true alternative to disposable culture because they are repairable.” 

He emphasizes that the takeover aligns perfectly with EverEver’s values: 
– Controlled restart to ensure long-term sustainability 
– Gradual ramp-up to protect the business model while strengthening local production 
– Ambition to expand across the full household appliance spectrum, from dishwashers and washing machines to dryers and refrigerators 

“This takeover is a starting point, not an end in itself,” Hacpille adds. “Our ultimate goal is to establish EverEver as a leader across the entire household appliance market.”
