Sonia Linard, Founder of Norki, Elected President of EPV Grand Est
We are proud to announce that Sonia Linard, CEO and Artistic Director of Norki, has been elected President of the regional association of Enterprises of Living Heritage (EPV) of Grand Est for a two-year term.
This appointment recognizes her commitment to craftsmanship and industrial excellence, as well as her ongoing desire to promote the exceptional know-how of our region. Sonia Linard takes the helm of this regional network with enthusiasm and responsibility, which is the third largest in France by the number of EPV-certified companies.
The EPV Label: A Recognition of Excellence
The Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label is a state distinction that rewards French companies with rare artisanal or industrial skills, often inherited from long-standing traditions. These companies share a commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and a passion for Made in France.
Founded in 2005, this distinction highlights companies that combine tradition and innovation and actively contribute to the global presence of the French economy.
In the Grand Est region, nearly 150 companies have received this label, making the region a true hub of talent, rare trades, and exceptional productions.
A Presidency Focused on Action and Valorisation
Through this new role, Sonia Linard aims to strengthen ties between the EPV companies in the region, defend their interests, and create sustainable synergies. Her goal is to amplify the voice of these companies, promote their craftsmanship on a regional, national, and international scale, and encourage the transmission of their skills to future generations.
“These Maisons embody the best of our craftsmanship: artisanal, industrial, often passed down from generation to generation, always driven by a passion for excellence.”
