\nFamily-owned industrial company since 1976<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The year is 1976. Edmond Chastagnier, born in 1924, is nearing the end of a teaching career at the public college of Tence, in the Haute-Loire department. Where others might envision a peaceful retirement in this village located southeast of Velay, he is thinking of the future of his three sons. <\/p>

<\/p>

Driven by a desire to transmit, a calling he had already embraced professionally, Edmond wished to offer his sons the opportunity to live in their home region. He then gathered his savings and acquired the business of a small workshop manufacturing wire guides, components for the textile industry. This marked the beginning of the Edmond & Fils adventure\u2026 <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

From father to son over 3 generations<\/p>

When Edmond & Fils was founded, the machines were installed in the basement of the family home. After school and on days off, everyone came to lend a hand. <\/p>

Gradually, the small workshop expanded. Formerly specializing in the manufacture of a single type of component, the company expanded its expertise in metals and shifted towards the production of high-end furniture.<\/strong> <\/p>

Today, Edmond’s sons manage the company, and his three grandsons oversee the complementary activities that enable Edmond & Fils to fully control the manufacturing chain of its furniture collections.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
