1925<\/div><\/div>
The Beginning<\/h5>

This is the story of a Franco-Swiss businessman, Willy Werner, who, in 1925, founded the first store in Limoges dedicated to supplies for porcelain professionals.<\/p>

The adventure began with the sale of decorations and supplies for the porcelain and glass workshops and factories in Limoges.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Anchoring<\/h5>

Following Jacques Werner\u2019s death, his wife, Suzanne, took over the management of the company. This marked the beginning of a new chapter for the company, which then began to diversify. <\/p>

It has launched its first partnership with Heraeus, a global specialist in the refining and processing of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.<\/p>

Together with his son, Pierre, they are expanding the marketing of decorative products made from precious metals for the porcelain industry.<\/p>

It was under Pierre's leadership that the company launched its line of supplies for workshops and manufacturing facilities.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

2010 - 2020<\/div><\/div>
Diversification<\/h5>

It was under Charles Werner's leadership that the company accelerated its diversification.<\/p>

Following Heraeus' sale of its pigment production division to Ferro, a second partnership has been established with Izawa Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer of pigments for ceramic decorations.<\/p>

Werner Mazurier then expanded the marketing of pigments in France and abroad, and became Izawa\u2019s exclusive partner in France across all sectors: porcelain, ceramics, glass, and crystal.<\/p>

In 2020, the company also secured exclusive distribution rights for Heraeus precious metals in France, across all sectors.<\/p>

This new phase also marks the company\u2019s expansion into the glass industry.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

2024<\/div><\/div>
Internationalization & Digitalization<\/h5>

With Jeanne Werner taking the helm, Werner Mazurier is beginning a new chapter in its growth.<\/p>

This period is part of an effort to strengthen existing partnerships with suppliers while developing new strategic collaborations.<\/p>

The company is also continuing to expand its product portfolio and strengthen its position in the ceramics sector, particularly in stoneware, clay, and earthenware.<\/p>

In an increasingly global market, Werner Mazurier is accelerating its digital transformation with the launch of an online store designed to support its customers both in France and abroad.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
