About

Originally, a breakdown: one too many! The one that occurs just after the end of the warranty period. When you understand that the product is not designed to be repaired. In the event of a breakdown, all you can to do is: Change it! We created kippit to offer truly durable and repairable household appliances. Products that reconcile innovation, performance and design with new social and environmental requirements. We are convinced that it is now essential to reinvent the French industry on the basis of sustainable, responsible and long-lasting approaches that create jobs and generate social ties on their territory. To achieve this, we have developed a model based on sustainability: at kippit, everything is sustainable! This starts with an uncompromising eco-design: - the choice of technologies that have proven their robustness, even if it is not in the world of household appliances - the use of recyclable and/or recycled materials - Repairability taken into consideration from the design stage so that our appliances are repairable for life. Between a new purchase and a repair, it will always be more economical to repair or have repaired than to buy a new appliance. - Backward compatibility: at kippit, there will be no V1, V2, V3, ...V10 of the same product, making the previous version automatically obsolete. There will be only one model per type of product. The products will nevertheless be able to evolve over time, these evolutions will have a common characteristic: they will have to adapt to your product, whatever its age. We thus erase the problem of availability of spare parts and thus guarantee lifetime repairability. Sustainability also requires the creation of local production units located in the heart of the consumption basins. Our idea? To bring the place of production closer to the consumers but also to promote the economic development of the territories through the creation of inclusive and sustainable jobs. Finally, sustainability requires real relationships with future users, as well as with industrial, technical or financial partners. All of them are gathered within the Kippers community: a place for exchanges and sharing in which they can get involved according to their desires. For kippit, it is the assurance of creating products that will meet the needs and expectations of committed consumers, in search of products that correspond to their values. For Kippers, it is a unique opportunity to get involved and take action. By creating kippit, we have chosen to change the world, starting with household appliances
