HENRY DESJONQUERES INDUSTRIES is a group reinforced by a long industrial tradition and resolutely focused on the future through its innovations and strong growth dynamic. The industrial roots are those of the Desjonquères family, an entrepreneurial adventure which began at the height of the French industrial revolution at the end of the 19^th century. In 1896 at the age of 26, Henri Desjonquères  (1870-1954) took over the glasswork factory of Tréport. He would then go on and build the Mers-les-Bains factory in 1924, the cradle of the Desjonquères glasswork success story. His son Luc Desjonquères (1902-1995) developed the family group, which later became Saint-Gobain Desjonquères in 1970, and placed it amongst the ranks of the world’s leaders in glass bottle manufacturing for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical markets. The activity was to continue with the takeover and development of Saverglass, world leader in prestige bottles (1976-2006).
