A family adventure...

It all began with Charles and Pierre Castanier..

The diversity of materials and colors, from horn to mammoth ivory

We entered the cutlery business with zebu horn, then expanded our range to offer a wide choice to dress your creations.

Da variety of customers

We take part in as many cutlery shows as possible. The presence of Mercorne (and other materials dealers at trade fairs), which seems to be a given today, has not always been so.

Mercorne today

Today, we're a team united around the values of our small company: Integrity, Reliability, Creativity and Conviviality.

Produire

Produce materials by modifying their colors and mechanical qualities thanks to our know-how. Our many years of experience are at your service. Because each of the products we offer requires expertise in storage, machining and drying .... So that every part we offer you is of optimum quality, both aesthetically and mechanically.

Revendre

Resell materials we select by creating partnerships with manufacturers around the world. This gives you access to exotic materials without having to go through import procedures. Materials from all over the world just a click away.

Cut out

Cutting materials as varied as a mammoth tusk or a horn requires real know-how, which we have acquired over the years. With over 10 dedicated cutting machines and 25 years of experience, we can cut all types of materials to your specifications.

Stabiliser

Stabilizing materials. Recipes that we have been developing and improving since 2006. This process densifies your materials. It affects the mechanical qualities of materials, as well as their appearance. Stabilized wood is wood that has been saturated with synthetic, natural or colored resin using a special technical process. Send us your material to be stabilized, along with your requirements (colors, dimensions, etc.), and we'll make it for you.

Inclure

Include materials in resin. Whether for a knife handle or to create a personalized object, we offer you the possibility of including objects (photographs, feathers, prints...) in an acrylic resin. This service allows you to personalize your creations. Mercorne was the first to offer this kind of personalization service. We acquired this know-how in 2006.

Innover

Innovation is our passion, our trademark. Our machine for inventing new materials to dress your creations has been built up over the years. Our research and development department has considerable human and financial resources.

The team

Mercorne is a team, a sum of know-how and skills, all essential. Ten people united by the same values.

Our values

Mercorne is a sum of values, strongly influenced by African culture. The African symbols in our logo all have a meaning: they define our values and what we want to represent.
