History
The company Ateliers B.Roy & Cie was founded in 1848 by Benjamin Roy. The company repaired agricultural equipment and repaired mill wheels. Later large scale metal manufacturing was carried out, including tunnel boring machines, hydroelectric equipment, bridges and liquified gas tanks. The plant in Vevey was modernised in 1962, but closed in 1992.[2]
In 1997 the plant was sold to the German company Deutsche Waggonbau (DWA),[1] which was acquired by Bombardier Inc. in 1998. The Villeneuve factory became Bombardier's production site for Switzerland in 2004, and in 2008 a third assembly hall was added.[1]
