History
Les Tressages du Dorlay has been offering braidedoptimization and security solutions since 1935.
Our history
Founded in 1880 as a milling operation, Tressages du Dorlay has adapted to changing market conditions. Historically situated in the Loire region, specifically in Lorette, between Saint-Étienne and Lyon, the business originated from harnessing the motive power of the river "Le Dorlay". Such industries proliferated in our region due to the accessibility of this energy source. Back then, mills served as the means to transmit the mechanical energy required to operate the machinery.
Mill for driving machine axles - 1925
Lace braiding machine workshop - 1900
Later, the installation of a hydraulic turbine will provide power for the installations.
Specialized in braiding since 1935, our company has acquired recognized experience in this field.
Since 1970, we have focused on metal and technical braiding to meet the needs of the electrical and mechanical protection markets.
To best meet our customers' needs and integrate additive manufacturing into our offering we moved in 2018 to Roche-la-Molière, near Saint-Étienne in the Loire region.
