History
[edit]A metallurgy manufactory was founded in 1830 at the locality of Faymont in the Val-d'Ajol commune, situated in the Vosges department in Lorraine, France.[4] Initially, the company produced sheet metal and hand-crafted wrought iron utensils using iron ore extracted from the surrounding mountains.[5] It gradually industrialized between 1850 and 1950 under the leadership of the de Buyer family, which acquired the production site in 1867.[6]
In 1957, Hervé de Buyer joined the company as a demonstrator and later took over its management in 1988. Facing competition from mass retailing and emerging countries, he decided to reposition production towards the high-end market.[7]
