Company closing, Arteni marble works in France

The company Arteni-Le Gal, specialized in the manufacture of funerary monuments, closed its doors a few weeks ago.

This will not fail to be relieved by the many motorists who use daily the RD 155, between Fougères and the A 84.

Located in Saint-Germain-en-Coglès, the site of an area of approximately two hectares, with important buildings of granite work, is indeed on the edge of the departmental.

Arteni (Arts and techniques of granite) and the Marbrerie Le Gal, of Fougères, had merged in 2013, employing about twenty employees.

The two companies themselves had recently been taken over by the Serenium funeral group.

It is now part of the national group OGF, under the sign Dignité funéraire.

The provençal marbrerie rewarded

The Provençal marble company from France who celebrated his 70th birthday was taken over 30 years ago by Denis Riocreux.

Since then, it has grown from one to twelve employees. An exceptional result for this lover of stone who has passed crafts and tradition to the level of requirements and technologies of the twenty-first century. The machine park is fully digitized and self-financed, with an investment of € 150000 per year, the company constantly adapts its response capacity to changing demands. In terms of achievement, the company also uses the contest of designers to be at the forefront of modernity.

But this equipment is not at the expense of tradition since the know-how is patiently cultivated within society. With a very low turnover, employees stay up to 25 years, we can say that the company knows how to retain talent. She has also obtained the prestigious labels of business of living heritage and that of crafts. This innovative company with respect for tradition, whose main objective is quality, is an example that the city wanted to salute.

Michel Dauphin, the last of the family, has just passed his hand. To retire.

For Laurent Heyser, who takes over the oldest family business of Moyeuvre-Grande, the funeral parlor and marbrerie Paquin-Dauphin, it is also a real change of course.

Since early January 2019, the company belongs to Laurent Heyser.

Family saga

"The company was created in 1923 by Edmond Paquin, who works with his brother Augustin," recalls Michel Dauphin.
