How VMC PECHE has grown to be the global leader in treble hooks and supplier to 70 countries around the world.
It was in 1910 that VMC’s illustrious heritage in hook production began at its ironworks in Grandvillars, but the origins of the family-owned company actually go further back than even that – much further in fact.
It was in 1796 that the Viellard family appointed Jean-Baptiste Migeon as Manager of its steel forge. When in 1835 Jean-Baptiste’s daughter married Juvenal Viellard their initials were combined to form VMC. And so it was that in 1996, Viellard Migeon and Company, the Family Holding Company, joined the ‘Henokiens’, an exclusive group of 200-year-old family businesses.
