HISTORY The I3 VCP division, is actually the joint venture of what once where three separate brands: Vanerum-Weyel (see also I3 Solutions), the French company of Aubecq and the Danish company Pentagon. The history of Aubecq goes back the furthest: in 1858 an enameling company is founded in Gosselines in Belgium and exports part of its production to France. In 1893, a first factory of enamelled finishing of stamped blanks of saucepans and hygiene materialsis is built in Blanc-Misseron in France. In 1912, a second factory is built in Auxi-Le-Château. In 1958, Aubecq acquires a license to manufacture enamelled sheets for writing (Bettinger USA license). Aubecq becomes the leader in the production of enamelled sheet metal until Alliance (now known as Polyvision) builds a continuous enameling plant in Genk in 1971. The company was acquired in 1998 by Polyvision, then was integrated into Steelcase Inc. before joining i3-Group in 2011.
