from 1939 to 1949
 | January 1939 : Lucien Lefevere established a workshop in Roubaix for peeling, turning, and polishing manganese-silicon steels for the manufacture of high-quality springs. The name was given: STAD (Société de Tournage d’Aciers Durs). 1940-1944 : The company ceased operations, resuming operations in 1945 in new premises in Roubaix. |
from 1950 to 1969
1952 :
A new generation arrived, diversifying the customer portfolio, which until then consisted mainly of spring manufacturers, with manufacturers of various equipment using turned shafts. Customer demand and requirements quickly steered the company toward precision, straightness, and surface finish, activities that required the purchase of a first grinding machine, and then a straightening machine.
1964 :
STAD becomes a limited liability company (SARL)
1968 :
STAD becomes a public limited company (SA). The premises become too small to install additional machine.
1969 :
Relocation and construction of a building located in the Martinoire Industrial Zone in Wattrelos.
from 1970 to 1989
1976 :
The SARL REVEL is founded. The name REVEL is a contraction of Revêtement Electrolytiques (Electrolytic Coatings). Chrome plating activity begins: a hard chrome plating facility completes the equipment to produce chrome-plated steels. The development of chrome plating requires the construction of a fully adapted workshop in 1982.
