Helfrich

Helfrich is a French company specialising in gift and employee-benefit solutions for works councils (comités sociaux et économiques, CSE) and local authorities. Founded in 1987 by François Helfrich, the business began by selling toys and gadgets to company committees from the attic of the family home in Kirrwiller, Alsace. Over the decades it grew into a national provider with a broad catalogue covering gourmet hampers, confectionery, toys, personalised corporate gifts, multi-store gift vouchers, ticketing and CSE management software. The company describes itself as a creator of happiness for employees, positioning its offer around social connection and purchasing power for staff. Its product families include Hexa Gourmet (gourmet hampers), ViniPro (group wine orders), Hexa Kado (gifts and communication objects), Hexa Kids (Christmas tree toys and confectionery), Shopping Pass (multi-store gift voucher) and Shoppa (dematerialised e-gift card). These are supported by advanGO, a CSE management platform that allows councils to subsidise group orders for family events within the URSSAF framework. Helfrich operates nationwide in France through 12 agencies and more than 200 employees, supported by two large logistics sites. It also runs an integrated marking workshop for personalising promotional objects, offering techniques such as pad printing, screen printing, transfer, embroidery, sublimation, doming and engraving. The company presents itself as a long-standing CSE supplier with recognised expertise in gourmet hampers, confectionery, object-based communication, gift vouchers, ticketing, CSE management software, toys and group wine orders.
