Nestled in a village bathed by watercourses conducive to industry, the Cerdon copper factory was born in the machine age. For over 150 years, La Cuivrerie de Cerdon has transformed a wide range of metals, testifying to know-how that is rare throughout the world. From everyday utensils to prestigious objects, the company has supplied major French kitchens as well as luxury hotels such as the Negresco and the famous liner Le Normandie.
