Henri ROGER was trained in turning and milling, which gave him the skills he needed to manufacture metal molds. Gifted with an entrepreneurial mindset, he soon realized the potential for mold filling and offering fully finished products for the market. The Fonderie ROGER saga had begun. The first site was an old gold and silver foundry located at number 4, rue Guillaume Bertrand in the 11th district of Paris. Manufacturing was initially focused on tin soldiers, but new and stricter legislation on lead soon meant that raw materials had to be adapted. For a while, Henri ROGER was tempted to use aluminum, but finally he chose zamak and plastic. OUR HISTORY
Henri ROGER was trained in turning and milling, which gave him the skills he needed to manufacture metal molds. Gifted with an entrepreneurial mindset, he soon realized the potential for mold filling and offering fully finished products for the market. The Fonderie ROGER saga had begun. The first site was an old gold and silver foundry located at number 4, rue Guillaume Bertrand in the 11th district of Paris. Manufacturing was initially focused on tin soldiers, but new and stricter legislation on lead soon meant that raw materials had to be adapted. For a while, Henri ROGER was tempted to use aluminum, but finally he chose zamak and plastic. 
Pierre Roger began his career with his father and very quickly diversified production towards objects formed from lead, such as balancing weights for car wheels. These industrial parts grew significantly so much so that the Parisian premises became cramped. It was time to move towards a new installation of manufacturing workshops to modernize production tools. The construction of a factory in the province located in Egreville was decided in 1960. 
Representing the 3rd generation of founders, Jean-Luc Roger has managed the company since 1979; the factory was expanded for the first time in 1985 and since the 2000s, a mechanical workshop, a sales department and a design office have been integrated to meet the growing demands of our customers. “It is by constantly adapting and anticipating changes that the company remains competitive” 
Accompanied by one of our clients in the automotive industry, we set up a quality system based on the EAQF standard, then in 1999 we moved to certification according to the ISO 9001 standard, Certification continually renewed since that date.
The ROGER Foundry is committed to a sustainable development approach which leads to the realization of numerous projects such as:
– Use of recycled raw materials (lead).
– Recovery of calories from our production system for space heating.
– Carrying out a carbon assessment and each year offsetting our CO² emissions by participating in a project to build food ovens in West Africa.
– Expression meetings, Training on Sustainable Development.
– Involvement in local associations (technical and financial assistance).

New expansion (2nd) of the factory according to HQE (high environmental quality) criteria by applying sustainability principles:
– Reversible air conditioning with a heat pump.
– Reinforced insulation.
– Taps with femoral activation.
– Skylights.
– Removal of bay windows.
– Economical hand dryers.
– Low consumption bulbs.
– Collection of rainwater for sanitary facilities and watering.

We remain mobilized to seek diversification of our production. Our manufacturing began in the toy sector (tin soldier) and now covers all industrial sectors. Our production tool allows us to work equally well with cutting-edge sectors such as nuclear power, without denying our roots because we continue to manufacture “grandfather’s little cyclists”.
