Our history

Celebrates the development of the first traffic light intersection controller, put into service the following year on Avenue de Neuilly in Paris. From then on, the company's activity is exclusively devoted to light, urban and road signaling.

At the beginning of the 1930s, the company began the construction of signaling equipment, and developed the marking of level crossings using panels equipped with reflectors.

André Garbarini, engineer from the higher school of electricity, created a workshop whose manufacture focused on refrigerators for boats and parabolic gas radiators. These latter will be marketed throughout Europe and will earn him numerous prizes and awards which will make him famous. André Garbarini also developed an arc searchlight for submarines, the great success of which resulted in the signing of the gold book by the British Admiralty.
