Chapuis-Comoy: Difference between revisions

In 1932, due to the economic crisis at Saint-Claude, the factory merged with [[La Bruyère]], adopting that name, and becoming one of the biggest pipe companies in the world, with 450 workers. '''Louis Chapuis Jr.''', joined the company in 1938 and '''Pierre Comoy''' in 1947. The name Chapuis-Comoy returned in 1957 (125 workers), due to the success of the Chacom brand in France. In 1971, the London factory (see [[Comoy's]]) became independent, and '''Yves Grenard''', second cousin to Pierre, took over Saint-Claude, and is still running it. Between 1987 and 2001, the factory, which employed over 40 people, joined the Cuty-Fort Enterprises SA holding and, in 1994, included the [[Ropp]] brand in its catalog.
