A pottery factory was founded in 1838 in the center of the town of Chauvigny, on the Montauban stream, by Jean Bozier, earthenware merchant, installed since 1826 in Marats, hamlet of Chauvigny. Jean Bozier joins forces with his son-in-law Louis Deshoulières, whose son, Gaston, undertakes the expansion of the business with the manufacture of fine earthenware. In 1906, a new production of very fine stoneware cookware was created by Fernand Deshoulières. In 1908, a fire destroyed a large part of the workshops, which were rebuilt shortly after. In 1909, the Perfecta brand was launched, a new fire porcelain. In 1935, Fernand Deshoulières joined forces with his son, Louis, then bought the Apilco brand (Albert Pillivuyt Compagnie). In 1946, a new 2000 m2 workshop was built on the land called Paradis, and a first tunnel kiln was installed there. In 1966, shortly after the arrival of Yves Deshoulières to the management, a third manufacturing unit was built at Planty, in the industrial zone of the city, completed by two other workshops in 1970 and 1986, then by new buildings for administration and commercial service. Since 1985, part of the production has been made by powder pressing, alongside mechanical and manual casting, and manual sizing.The furnaces first fired with coal, have been since 1948 with gas, first produced by the company itself, then bought from 1962. The round ovens were supplemented and replaced by tunnel ovens from 1948, then by cell ovens in the 1960s. The first tunnel oven from 1948 is still in operation. In 1920, a 70 hp steam engine replaced the 2 lean gas engines. It was itself replaced by a 105 hp engine in 1946. Around 1890, around 20 workers. In 1906: 50 workers. In 1988: 493 workers. In 1995: 380 workers. The photos are an integral part of the description.
