Our history
Discover the history of Selectarc, from its origins in 1796 to the present day, and how we have evolved to become a world leader in the design and manufacture of welding and brazing filler metals, combining family tradition, innovation and international development.
Our heritage: over two centuries of innovation
Since its foundation in 1796 by Juvénal Viellard, Selectarc Group, owner of the Selectarc activities, has established itself as the welding and brazing division of Viellard Migeon & Compagnie. This French family-owned industrial group has a rich industrial heritage, drawing on a solid ‘industrial memory’ to forge its vision of the future. Viellard Migeon & Compagnie’s longevity and prosperity stem from the continuity of its family shareholding, the expertise of its teams and the robustness of its profits.
To these traditional values, Selectarc adds essential strengths such as innovation, quality and the value of partnership, placing us at the forefront of the welding and brazing sector. Our ability to evolve while remaining true to our roots is the key to our success and international reputation.
A solid corporate culture for sustainable development
Beyond its history, Viellard Migeon & Compagnie also draws its strength from the loyalty of its family shareholders, the skills of its staff and the consistency of its profits. Selectarc’s vision of long-term development and value creation is shared by all members of the Group, and is underpinned by innovation, quality and partnership.
