In 1919, son Georges transformed the loom into mechanical weaving and mantis to beef became table linen. In 1967, it was Jacques Moutet who gave a new boost to the company by building an ultra-modern factory that would produce Jacquard. During the crisis of the 1990 s, the company moves towards the artistic creation of designers applied to high-end weaving, boosting its activity in the high-end decoration distribution circuit.

At first glance, using ashes to wash your clothes may seem like a strange idea, but since grandma's recipes are often very useful tips, Gaël used his grandma's recipe to start his laundry factory. At home, he sifts the ashes recovered from local bakeries and pizzerias, mixes them with water, lets them settle and filters them, before distributing them in returnable bottles to local stores. To date, his catalog includes two recipes for detergents, one of which is scented, a solid dish soap, a stain remover soap, and a household vinegar. It is possible to consume local detergents!
