Innovation

Eco-responsible commitments
Our CSR commitments: raw sound, lasting impact
At ProOrca, for 40 years we have combined a passion for music and Made-in-France artisanal excellence.
Our commitment? To become regenerative!
Beat by beat, we play to the tempo of a more sustainable planet while remaining true to the rebellious spirit of music.
1. An impact on sound, not on the environment
Eco-designed manufacturing : ProOrca chopsticks are varnish-free. They are dry-sanded in specially designed barrels to enhance their beauty for 72 hours. The result? A raw, natural, and authentic finish, free from chemicals, and therefore more environmentally friendly.
Proven durability : Our sticks have a long lifespan, as our loyal customers have proven for decades. Hickory provides high strength, even for the most powerful playing, a durable alternative to beech or maple models, which are often more fragile.
Circular economy : At ProOrca, even waste deserves a second life. Our wood scraps, for example, are reused for heating.
And this is just the beginning...
Locally sourced wood : Currently, our drumsticks are made from hickory from North America. We're working to incorporate French wood species. Fewer miles traveled, more local connection
2. Social and societal: drummers, above all a community
- Hiring young artisans : each stick is hand-turned and matched "by ear." This artisanal skill, designed for artists, is passed on to the next generation.
- Made-in-France, proud and committed : being among the only French manufacturers of drumsticks means promoting French know-how, creating local jobs and showing that music can be an economic force.
- Parity and human values : at ProOrca, our employees are at the heart of the project
And this is just the beginning...
Inclusivity : we are exploring partnerships with ESATs to offer opportunities to people with disabilities, in line with our human values.
