MANUFACTURING

Our origins begin with the company 'Papeteries Vérilhac Frères', which was founded in Lyon, France in 1932 by brothers Henri and Robert Vérilhac. Coming from a family who were paper experts,they started trading this commodity in France, then expanded to the countries of North Africa. Using their knowledge of notebooks and stationery in 1934, they started manufacturing and selling the first RHODIA®-branded notepads. Not ones to rest, they worked hard to create new designs and expand their collections over time. In 1997, RHODIA® became part of the Exacompta Clairefontaine group and production was relocated to Mulhouse, near the Swiss border.
