Nickel/Nickel Copper alloys

From le Bronze Industriel to the Lebronze alloys Group 1934 Rene LOISEAU founds le Bronze Industriel, the fi rst company in France to develop wrought copper structural hardening alloys.

1945 Until 1939, the production was dedicated to the French National Navy, Aviation and Armaments. After 1945, Le Bronze Industriel signifi cantly develops its production capabilities especially in the Automotive industry.

1961 A new factory is created in Suippes near Reims, to manufacture more elaborated products such as drawn pipes for Marine/Offshore applications and machined parts.

2004 A fully brand new factory of 20 000 m2 is inaugurated. The same year, another major investment was carried out in a new extrusion press of 5,400 tons in order to face an increasing demand on international markets.

2006 Members of the Dumont family, some private investors as well as few top-managers take the company over. This is the beginning of a new growth period for the company.

From 2011 on: the birth of a GroupExternal growth is a key strategic choice: to form a Group, expand the range of products and services, and to position it as a major player in design, transformation and production of components made of copper, copper alloys, aluminum, special & stainless steels, and other metals (superalloys, titanium). Le Bronze Industriel becomes Lebronze alloys.
