The merger of L'ELECTRO-VERRE and the
Insulator Department of the CHARBONNEAUX Glassworks at the beginning
of 1959, in order to form the new SEDIVER Company, made it possible
to inject fresh new impetus into this industry which was established
in France before anywhere else in the world as early as 1904.
By rationalizing the production of the two old-established Manufacturers
and automating the processes, made possible in part by the increase
of the production runs, access was gained to new markets -- mostly
abroad -- where SEDIVER now sell approximately half their total
production.
SEDIVER toughened glass insulators, developed almost 25 years ago,
are now exported to 65 different countries, thus placing SEDIVER
in the front rank of world-wide Exporters of insulators for HV
and EHV overhead transmission lines.
In addition to the constitution of a vast network of Agents whose
action is coordinated by a solid Sales Organization, it was necessary
to extend the range of existing products in order to satisfy the
many International technical specifications. That was made possible
by retaining and continually improving the same basic processes used
in glass manufacture.
These improvements, made by SEDIVER's own Technical Departments, have
been assisted by the permanent contacts maintained with its two sole
shareholders: the Compagnie de SAINT-GOBAIN and the COMPAGNIE
GENERALE D'ELECTRICITE.
