1911
Where it all began...

Mr Tribollet, son of founder Tribollet, takes over the family business and continues to develop the brushmaking business.

1972
The family business

The son of a brushmaker, Mr. Pommaz, a former Tribollet employee and his wife, naturally took over the family business in October 1974. They set up shop on Quai St Vincent in Lyon, in premises of around 150m2. It was at this time that they decided to specialize in the manufacture of strip brushes. He and his wife gradually expanded the business.

1993
Villeurbanne

Shortly after the takeover, Tribollet moves to Villeurbanne. The company grew rapidly and hired a large number of employees. With the arrival of synthetic fibers, demand increased. Growth was also driven by strong advertising and a presence at foreign trade fairs. Faced with this expansion, Tribollet moves again.

1998
Thil

After almost a year of design and construction work, Tribollet moved from the Lyon area to new, more spacious premises of around 800m2 in Thil, Ain. With more workspace and greater comfort, Tribollet continues to expand and conquer the world. Short of manpower, he continues to hire.

2002
KOTI Group

With 52 employees and a strong influence in Europe, Tribollet became part of the KOTI Group, based in the Netherlands and Belgium, at the end of 2002. Tribollet becomes KOTI-TRIBOLLET and continues to grow thanks to this integration.

2011
Expansion and relocation

The strong growth experienced by Tribollet, due in particular to its entry into the KOTI Group, forced the company to move again to larger premises. With a larger work surface and new equipment, the team is able to work in the best possible conditions.

2025
Today and beyond...

KOTI-TRIBOLLET aims to continue the strong worldwide growth of recent years. To achieve this, the KOTI Group is investing in the expansion of its international production, sales and marketing activities.
