Dumont developed in La Sagne,
Canton of Neuchatel, the first Dumont watch-making tools in 1875,
in the heartland of the Swiss
watch industry. Arnold Dumont, a self-taught watchmaker, started
in 1881 in La Chaux-de-Fonds to manufacture,
with only the help of a hammer, anvil, files and tools designed for
watch-manufacturing.
Later on, he adapted his forms to different other applications. 34 years later, two of his sons, Paul & Theodore, took over the company. Dumont Tools, which were originally created specifically for the Swiss watchmakers and are now articles in great request abroad world-wide. Succeeding her late husband Theodore Dumont, Suzanne Dumont took over the company in 1927. Dumont products enjoyed an increasing popularity as the years went by: a steadily growing popularity which was reflected in the efforts of competing firms to copy the Dumont style in tools they brought to market. But Dumont quality proved to be inimitable. Andrée Dumont, Suzanne’s daughter took over the company until the 70’s with her engineer husband Edgard Sgobero. Together they doubled the size of the company. After Edgard Sgobero’s death, his son Christian Sgobero & his wife Nicole Sgobero succeeded him at the head of the firm. Today Dumont still preserves its character as a purely family company with their two sons, Richard and David Sgobero, while constantly alert to the possibilities offered by modern technology in exploiting its long experience and established production skills in the making of precision tools. This could well be the reason why these «Precision fingers of steel» are continuing to expand their applications beyond the watch-making field itself. In November 2002, Christian Sgobero, son of Andrée Dumont and Edgar Sgobero, CEO since 1975, has relinquished his power to his two sons last November 15, 2002. His two sons represent the fifth generation of Dumont! The new Dumont Team:
These individuals come with years of experience and industry knowledge. They welcome the challenge of this new Dumont generation. |
