A propos d'Etam groupe

Etam groupe was formed in 1958 from the merger of Etam, a company founded in 1916 in Germany by Max Lindemann, distributing stockings and women's lingerie, and Setamil, a manufacturer of cheesecloth founded by Martin Milchior in 1925. In 1963, the name Etam was chosen by the partners as the name of the group, as it evokes their respective pillars of success: Etam boutiques on the one hand, and Setamil cheesecloth on the other. Thanks to its brands (Etam, Undiz, and Maison Cent Vingt-Trois, formerly “1-2-3”), the group has established itself in over 55 countries.
