In 1928, Mr. LEON LEPELTIER purchased „DUBOIS RICHARD“ trade mark together with the patent for sulphurous stripes patented in 1833.

In the following 10 years, Mr. PIERRE LEPELTIER improved the formula for sulphurous stripes and manufactured the first automatic machines for series production. With them, the company produces 65 000 sulphurous stripes per day. Mr. PIERRE LEPELTIER expanded activity by adding a third machine for manufacture of sulphurous disks.
