58 owner Armand Drouant was also a manufacturer of fine oil colours. Pébéo took over his factory and, so, acquired all of the insider knowledge of the industry. Having been impasted in hand mixers, the colour is refined on tri-cylindrical grinders: the fineness is proportional to the pressure placed on the cylinders and the number of repetitions. It then undergoes quality checks during manufacture and before it’s packaged. Now equipped with mixers and other granite grinders, Pébéo could develop in the sector of fine colours. 1960: Adventures with textiles.
