The start of a family adventure
in the service of CHILDREN
SO Danielle Vigneron, a young mother at the time, came up with the idea of offering nap equipment perfectly suited to young children in daycare centres and nursery schools. She founded Ouest Collectivités with her husband Jacques, with the ambition of selling resources within their locality.

MOTOR SKILL modules
Danielle and Jacques collaborated with psychomotor therapists to help create our BLOCmodules range, for the development of children’s motor skills. With these resources, Wesco helped revolutionise thinking behind motor skills development for young children and quickly gained traction and popularity outside of France.
Heading
out in WORLD
The first export agency opens in Belgium. Ouest Collectivités took advantage of this momentum to shorten its name to Wesco. Equipped with a new, playful, and shorter name, enabled Wesco to set out to conquer the international market.
Timeless products
Inimitable DESIGN
The Wesco brand is growing at lightning speed after the creation of the design office by Bertrand Vigneron, the son of the founders. Numerous innovations straight from the brainstorming minds of our designers are quickly catching attention, such as our iconic... Stackable bed, praised by child care professionals for its lightness and practicality. Giant cuddly toys, Archibloc cardboard bricks, Ball pools, Modular partitions… These products, born 30 years ago, still bring joy to thousands of children today!
