History

Electricfil was created in La Boisse by Johanny Thollin (born October 4th, 1889, in the North of Isère, died February 5th, 1962[2]) in 1936[3] with the assistance of his stepfather Joseph Guinet. He was mayor of La Boisse from the year 1908 to 1938. He was then the head of a small Caterpillar factory in La Boisse and in 1968 the company relocated to Beynost.[4] In the 1970's, the company gradually diversified its activities, abandoning electrical cables for the design of sensors for the rapidly growing automobile field. Subsequently, the company bought several other production centers in various locations.

The company announced in 2012 that they would have a turnover of 145 million euros[5] for the whole company (around 1,400 employees).[6]

In 2014, turnover increased by 7% to 190 million euros. In 2015, the company announced the creation of an incubator for innovative start-ups.[7]
