A major and historic player
in the circular economy
The NOZ Universe offers a range of anti-waste » and local products that can be reused.
Since it was founded in 1976, NOZ (then called Le Soldeur) established itself as a model of anti-waste by buying batches of products from bankruptcies or overstocks from manufacturers and distributors, to resell in its Laval store.
Since then , the brand has always remained true to its DNA as a clearance company unlike discounters, it does not manufacture any products.It only buys and resells items from overstock, end-of-series, end-of-collection, cancelled orders, damaged or changed packaging or auctions. NOZ gives a second life to products that can no longer be sold in their usual distribution channels.
