History

In 1976, the year the company was created, Serge and Jacqueline Sztarkman decided to go into the thrift store by collecting, upgrading and reselling second-hand clothes. They set up Hersand in a 4000 m² warehouse in Sarcelles.

In 1987, the company took a stake in Delaisy-Kargo, a company specializing in the trading of hygiene consumables.

In 2004, the founders handed over the management to their two sons, Hervé and Alexandre. Each one takes care of a sector: the second-hand store goes to Alexandre, the hygiene consumables trade to Hervé.

In 2005, Hersand decided to set up in Tunisia and open a 15,000 m² factory there. This allows the company to significantly increase textile reprocessing capacities.
