Tajima and its operations in France
The brand was introduced in France in 1972 via TERROT France, a company based in Paris, which distributes machines for the textile industry.
In September 2011, TERROT France sold all its embroidery-related businesses to Tajima Europe, a division which is 100% owned by TAJIMA Industries Ltd. The goal of this organisation is both to ensure management of the traditional market and to provide logistical support to other resellers in Europe.
In 2014, Franck Raynal was appointed to head up Tajima Europe and organise the move to La Ciotat. He oversaw the growth of the company, expanding his team from 6 to 10 people over the last 3 financial years.
