OUR CERTIFICATIONS

SOME IMPORTANT DATES...

1910 : The company RENOU Freres was created by Gabriel and Stéphane RENOU (manufacturing all the machines needed for the ceramic industry, designed for tile and brick-making factories and tile manufacturers).
At the time, there were 100 people working for the RENOU company, which was No. 1 in Europe.

1914/1918 : RENOU was requisitioned to manufacture bombs and employed up to 300 people, resuming its pre-war activities in 1919.

1939/1945 : Once again, RENOU was required to produce military equipment and after the war it resumed the sole activity of sub-contracting in precision machining.

1968 : RENOU changed its name to SOMIP.

1978 : SOMIP filed for bankruptcy and dismissed its entire staff. Henri Perey, who was a fitter, took over the factory by re-employing 15 Somip employees and created the company Mecaroanne. He continued the activity of sub-contracting in precision machining and relaunched the manufacture of crushing equipment for the mineral and ceramic industries.

1997 : The company was bought by Jean-François Frou and a new era began. The “crusher” department diversified and expanded into new sectors: chemical and pharmaceutical industry, glass, cement works, steel industry, waste recycling, etc …
