Our story
The company was founded in 1974 by Jean Pépin de Fontaine de Bonnerive under the name JADE. In order to meet very technical requirements, the company embarked on the design and manufacture of seals for mining support jacks. The first parts were intended for coal mines in Poland.
They had to be strong and watertight enough to withstand difficult conditions and the pressure of the jack. The company then developed seals using a new material: polyurethane. A thermoplastic with exceptional resistance to abrasion, perfectly suited to the harsh environment, allowed JADE to establish a solid reputation for the quality of its products. Production was then launched in Auray.
In 1980, a fire completely destroyed the factory. However, it did not take long for the company to bounce back. The reconstruction was rapid and production was resumed.
In 1981, the German group Merkel, a specialist in hydraulic seals, acquired the company to expand its activities.
First ISO 9002 quality certification.
Then in 1994, the Austrian company Economos acquired the company before selling it in 1998 to the German company Freudenberg.
