ABOUT
Almost a century of tradition and innovation
We are in the middle of the 1930s. In the town of Wegnez, a stone’s throw from Verviers, Pierre Cerfontaine sets up a small general engineering company. By his conscientiousness and know-how in machining, the modest workshop quickly carved out a solid reputation for itself, in the region, and beyond..
In a Belgium suffering from the war, some industrialists chose to collaborate with Germany. Pierre Cerfontaine refused to submit to the occupier’s law. While commendable, this meant that his company ground to a halt. Once the armistice was signed, he had to double his efforts to make up for the handicap of those years of stasis.
The 1960s marked the arrival of the second generation in the company. The founder’s three children, Marie-Jeanne, Henri and Pierre, joined the ranks of the company, which by this time had some fifteen employees.
In the competitive world of mechanical workshops, the family business prospered by gradually specialising in the manufacture and machining of large parts. A winning positioning on which the company gradually built its growth, building up its workforce to 40 employees.
In 2011, the time came for the second generation in turn to pass on the baton. With a quality workforce, a modern fleet of machines and a work area of over 4,000 m2, the company quickly won over two entrepreneurs from the region: Luc Servais and Jean-Luc Boulanger. Convinced of the potential of Ateliers Cerfontaine, the two men acquired the company in 2012.
Under the leadership of its new managers, the Ateliers Cerfontaine company continued to develop while respecting the values that had made it famous for more than 80 years. To keep it up to date, Luc Servais and Jean-Luc Boulanger have established an ambitious investment plan. This will be put into effect this year with the construction of a 1,100 m2 extension and the acquisition of three new latest-generation numerical control machines.
