<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>1952<\/h2><\/div>The LAVAYSSIERE company as been created in Figeac in a small family workshop by Marcel LAVAYSSIERE’s father, Henry LAVAYSSIERE, who was a wheeler and car body designer; his know-how was in wood and steel work. He made cartwheels (new wheels and iron cladding) and wooden bodywork. At that time, Marcel LAVAYSSIERE was 6 years old and spent a lot of time in the workshops. It was a bit like his playground. His father quickly gave up wood bodywork for metal one.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
1960<\/h2><\/div>Henry LAVAYSSIERE starts designing and manufacturing cattle trucks, trays and trucks bodies. The company has 1 to 2 employees. At that time, Marcel LAVAYSSIERE continue his schooling and studies. He obtains his BEI (higher education diploma) at the Lyc\u00e9e Cabanis in Brive. After that, he moves to Paris for a professional Brevet as an independent candidate. He enrolled in evening classes. Then, he obtains a BTS in boiler making and stays in Paris for 5 years where he works for 8 different companies, between workshops and design offices.<\/p>\n<\/div>
1968<\/h2><\/div>Marcel LAVAYSSIERE leaves for Toulouse to do his military service. At the same time, he enrolls as a free candidate at the IPA (Business Preparatory Institute) and works as a freelance industrial designer.<\/p>\n<\/div>
1970<\/h2><\/div>At the age of 26, Marcel takes over the family business. Over time, the workshop become too small and most of the chassis are built outside according to the template.<\/p>\n
He meets difficulties for 3 years with the implementation of his expansion project.<\/p>\n<\/div>
1973<\/h2><\/div>He builds a second workshop at the back of his house: 400 m2 reserved to the manufacture of trucks bodies, agricultural trailers and cattle trucks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
