The company is born from innovation

It all started with a simple yet brilliant idea - a " spring" which holds an assembly together and which, under a certain pressure, is able to release it. It is the mechanical principle of the push-button which will give rise to clip fastenings and thousands of patents.

Helix Hook and Eye

Inventors: Albert-Pierre Raymond

The "helix" fastening, riveted in a single component in leather, ensures that the hook or eye is watertight. Lacing up is then possible without the need for sewn-on buttons and buttonholes.

Press-stud

Inventors: Albert-Pierre Raymond

Invented for the glove-making industry, this "new form of a spring stud-fastener" is made of 4 components riveted together in pairs using a manual crimping machine. Fastening by pressing together, unfastening by pulling apart. Today, billions of press-studs are used which have come from the 1886 invention.

The Mastery of hardened steel

Who would have imagined that our mastery in hardened steel was first used for "pipe clips" on the display racks of the French tobacconists? In 1925, the company will once again demonstrate its ability to adapt and launch the first hardened steel clips for the automotive industry, whose mechanical properties (spring effect) respond to the car manufacturers' concerns: speeding up the assembly of shell components.
