Founded in Haute Savoie in 1948 by Marcel DUBOURGEL and his wife Renée GRANGE, the initial cottage industry specialised in the wheelwright trade (manufacture of wooden wheels).
As the wheelwright trade was doomed to disappear, Marcel DUBOURGEL then sought to use his know-how and wood working machines for other applications.
At that time he obtained an initial order for wooden toilet seats and thus gradually built up a bathroom product wholesaler clientele.
In the middle of the 1950s, customers began to ask for plastic toilet seats. Therefore, in 1958 he designed a toilet seat, purchased a press and made a first mould.
