1725

Robert Lécuyer founded the Lécuyer establishments, specializing in the weaving of cotton, linen, and hemp. The company quickly modernized by integrating machines imported from Boston (United States).

A pioneer in its field, it became one of the first ribbon manufacturers in France. In Drucourt, in the Eure region, Robert Lécuyer operated ribbon looms, building a unique expertise. Today, Lécuyer weaving is the last heir to this rich regional textile heritage.

1851

Cyriaque Lécuyer took over the family business. The Lécuyer establishments quickly established themselves as the leading ribbon manufacturers in Normandy and reached their peak during the Second Empire.
