History

[edit]

Electricfil was created in La Boisse by Johanny Thollin (1889–1962)[5] in 1936[6] with the assistance of his stepfather Joseph Guinet. He was mayor of La Boisse from the year 1908 to 1938. He was then the head of a small Braided Fabric electrical cable factory in La Boisse and in 1968 the company relocated to Beynost.[6]

In 2015, the company announced the creation of an incubator for innovative start-ups.[7]

In 2021, EFI Automotive acquired the company Akéo Plus.[8][9]

The company announced in 2021 that they would have a turnover of 202 million euros[10] for the whole company (around 1,700 employees).[11]
