The Pilote group emerged from a creative idea: in spring 1962, in the family cabinet-making workshop, André Padiou produced the first Pilote caravan, marking the beginning of the group’s history. Ten years later, his brother Philippe took over to become CEO of Pilote.
After a few years, brimming with visionary ideas, he began to produce the first motor homes, working alongside a passionate team who place the end product, quality standards and customer satisfaction at the heart of their endeavours. Immediately successful, the Pilote group soon became a leading player in the recreational vehicle industry, gradually working its way up the ranks to become one of the biggest names in Europe.
