Former metal processing plant

In 1874, Charles Moreaux and his brother founded the Moreaux Frères company to manufacture railway parts. In 1888, Charles set up his own company, Ch. Moreaux et Fils, and set up his factory on Avenue Nationale (now Charles-de-Gaulle) to produce various items such as jacks and hinges. The company became Ets Moreaux et Cie in 1910, then Moreaux Fils.

In the 1940s, it specialised in aluminium casting under the name SARL Moreaux et Cie. In 1954, it was bought by Jubert Frères and became Jubert-Moreaux et Cie. The buildings, some of which can still be seen today, were subsequently occupied by EDF, and since the 1980s by the SOPAIC printing works. Part of the site was demolished in 2008 to make way for buildings.

Around 1900, the factory employed 65 people, rising to 91 in 1942. The site consisted of brick offices, limestone rubble workshops and brick or reinforced concrete outbuildings, all with different roofs. Some structures have been replaced or refitted over time.
