Inside Le Mans, beyond Excellence.
At Colart, we believe in the power of creativity—and that belief extends not only to the products we make but also to the way we tell our story. That’s why we’ve created a compelling new film centered on our Le Mans factory—an engaging and informative visual journey that reveals the heartbeat of Colart’s global mission.
A Window Into Our World-Class Facility
The film’s primary goal is to showcase the scale, complexity, and innovation behind our Le Mans production site. This facility stands as a cornerstone of Colart’s commitment to producing premium art materials trusted by artists around the world. From pigment processing to packaging, the Le Mans site demonstrates a seamless blend of cutting-edge technology, human expertise, and deep-rooted craftsmanship.
Every frame of the film reflects the dedication that fuels our operation. Viewers are offered a behind-the-scenes look at how our products come to life, providing a rare glimpse into the precision, care, and consistency that define Colart's manufacturing standards.
Demonstrating Our Core Values
But this film is more than just a tour of a factory. It is a testament to the values that define who we are.
-
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. The Le Mans site exemplifies our pursuit of excellence—from raw materials to finished products.
-
Sustainability is integrated throughout our operations. The film illustrates how we actively reduce waste, increase efficiency, and implement eco-friendly practices at every stage of production.
-
Innovation drives our progress. The film captures the use of state-of-the-art machinery and modern production techniques that keep Colart at the forefront of the industry with the consumer always at the forefront of our minds.
By highlighting these core values, the film reinforces Colart’s position as a global leader in premium art supplies and a company deeply committed to responsible manufacturing.
The People Behind the Process
A standout feature of the film is the pride and passion of our people. The Le Mans site isn’t just a factory—it’s a vibrant workplace powered by a talented, diverse, and dedicated team. Their expertise, their energy, and their belief in the work we do come through in every shot. This human element brings warmth and authenticity to the film, reminding viewers that behind every tube of paint or bottle of ink is a community of professionals who care deeply about their craft.
We also wanted to emphasize the "One-Colart" philosophy—a unified approach that connects all our global sites and teams. This spirit of collaboration and shared purpose is alive and well in Le Mans, and it is a key reason for our continued success.
Sharing Our Story with the World
The film will be made available on LinkedIn and other social media platforms, allowing audiences around the world to connect with our story. Whether you're an artist, a partner, or simply someone curious about the work behind your favorite creative materials, this film invites you to step into our world.
Additionally, a longer version of the film is being screened at the Le Mans site itself. This extended cut features more in-depth interviews and a broader representation of the amazing individuals who make up our team. It’s a celebration of the people, processes, and principles that define Colart.
Experience the Film. Discover Colart.
This film is more than just a look at what we do—it’s a reflection of who we are. We invite you to watch, share, and join us in celebrating the remarkable work happening at Le Mans and across Colart globally.
Stay tuned for more stories, more innovation, and more inspiration as we continue to support creativity worldwide.
Looking Back, Moving Forward
This might also be a great opportunity to remind our community of the Lowestoft film, produced a few years ago, which celebrated 75 years of history at another one of our key manufacturing sites. That story captured the heritage, people, and evolution of the Lowestoft site in a similarly meaningful way.

Together, both films offer a deeper understanding of Colart's ongoing journey—rooted in tradition, driven by innovation, and powered by people.

This is SO impressive; not only is the film visually stunning and of very high quality, but most importantly it’s full of insights and behind-the-scenes into the daily operation of what makes Colart, Colart! What stood out to me most was how the film puts the spotlight exactly where it belongs: on the incredibly talented people on the floor who make it all happen. Loved all the interview snippets from Loic, Johny, Donat, Rachid, Julie and BĂ©rengĂšre.
Will this be available for us to share with our retailers by any chance? I am certain it would be received very well & we could share the story of Colart & the Le Mans factory with even more people. I would also love to watch the extended version if it becomes available after the screening? Thanks so much for sharing & congratulations to everyone involved in creating this film!
hi Francheska, thanks for your question and yes we will be producing a shorter version with a slightly different format for sharing with retailers. I’d love some input on this so let me know if you want to be involved. I’ll also add a link to the longer version in the article above đ

Un grand bravo et un immense merci à toutes celles et ceux qui ont participé à la réalisation de cette vidéo, aux témoins qui y ont partagé leur expérience, et à ceux qui ont contribué à la faire rayonner.
Câest un outil prĂ©cieux pour faire dĂ©couvrir notre culture dâentreprise Ă de futurs talents ou partenaires.
Je suis trÚs heureuse et fiÚre de faire désormais partie de cette belle entreprise !
Well done everyone involved in this I feel extremely proud watching it!!
As per other comments, would be great to have this “retail ready” asap as we go into the annual planning and negotiation process with key customers as it really encapsulates what we stand for, how we operate and why we we should be a preferred supplier for our partners.
I know we have experimented at head office and also in the EU team with AI translations, so would be good explore how we get this into key local language formats (if cheap and efficient to achieve) as it will add even more value.
thanks again all
Love the video really captures the essence of colour creation! @Jake on translations microsoft clipchamp can automatically add translations to a video and its free
Really great video with a wonderful focus on people being at the heart of Colart! Love it. Looking forward to getting the “retail” format video and sharing it with our Retail Partners!
