Our history and expertise
Innovation in security has been our DNA for 200 years. From Alexandre Fichet's locksmith workshop to Fichet Group, two centuries of inventions designed and manufactured in France.
Since 1825, Fichet has been inventing, protecting and anticipating the threats of its time. From the pick-proof lock to ANSSI-qualified access control, each generation has advanced the state of the art in French security, designed and manufactured on home soil.

The Executive Committee
An international organisation, a recognised CSR commitment
Present in around forty countries, Fichet Group relies on two subsidiaries, in Luxembourg and Belgium, and on dedicated sales teams across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and French-speaking Africa. Its partners are trained in two training centres, in Baldenheim and Vélizy. A dedicated CISO and DPO ensure data governance that matches its clients' requirements.
On CSR, the Group was awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal 2026 with a score of 80/100, placing it in the top 5% of the companies assessed. Between 2022 and 2025, it cut its CO2 emissions by 11.4%. These results rest on a strengthened Code of Conduct, a responsible purchasing policy and manufacturing kept in France, across its two production sites.
