In 1983, he created the historic factory of his company, VIP (Vitrages Isolants de Pont-Audemer) in Beuzeville. An excellent handyman, he then developed a process to industrialize the manufacture of double glazing, compensating for delays that he considered too long from his supplier at the time. He invented his first machine, which he patented in 1988 and presented at the international glass fair in D\u00fcsseldorf. The following year, the European Patent Office in The Hague (Netherlands) designated him as inventor and awarded him a patent for his process. Then, the company grew and began a long series of acquisitions between 2005 and 2012. 17 processing sites in total. The RIOU Glass group is taking shape and becoming the preferred supplier to French carpenters and facade makers.<\/p>\n
