History of the company
By the end of the XIX century, France lacked high-quality sanitary ware, while in the UK ceramic products were actively manufactured: sinks and toilet bowls. Emil Jacob in those days was engaged in the production of sanitary faucets and pipes, but realizing that ceramic products would be in great demand, he decided to start manufacturing enameled sanitary products. The main focus was the production of mixers, but the company also produced earthenware products.
In this case, Emil’s risk was justified. He managed in a fairly short period to become famous in this area and get a gold medal at an exhibition held in the capital of France. Demand for such products grew very quickly, so ten years after receiving the gold medal, Emil and his companion began to build a second factory that was engaged in the manufacture of mixers. It was during this period that the rapid growth and development of the company began.
Emil Jacob collaborated with Maurice Delafon for many years, but it was not until 1901 that their joint venture received the new name Jacob Delafon. Soon after, construction of the third plant began. Despite the rapid development, production had to be suspended due to the outbreak of war. As soon as the First World War was over, production was restored.
It is important to note that in the postwar period, demand for products increased almost 4 times. This had a positive effect on the financial activities of the company. She actively began to invest in her own development. A cast iron bath factory was opened. About every 7-10 years, Jacob Delafon opened new plants, but faucets have always been the focus of attention.
