to consolidate the ironworks and forests in the area around
Belfort.

At first a supplier of drawn
metal to the well known JAPY factories, VMC soon launched
its own production of chains, bolts, wood screws and other
goods using iron.

At the turn of the twentieth
century, a new fish hook factory, "VMC Pêche",
was opened in Morvillars.
