It was in 1952 in the Jura that René Pierre created his first structure. The brand's first table football tables were assembled in a simple garage and sold only in the North of France.
The town of Ranchot, where the company is based, quickly offered him an old clog factory. This was the starting point of the adventure, as it was at this precise moment that Mr. Pierre invested in a woodworking machine intended for the production of table football and golf billiards. The following year, he acquired land where he had his first factory built. It measures 180m² and continues to grow year after year to meet an equally growing demand.
The inevitable happens: too small, the Ranchot factory can no longer keep up with demand. René Pierre then decides to build a new production site of more than 8000m² in Chalon sur Saône, preferring to use the Ranchot factory for storage purposes. From then on, the René Pierre company has experienced considerable growth both in France and abroad.
Having become a leader in the world of table football, it launched its first store in Paris in 1977. It was so successful that several other stores opened in the following years in Chalon, Lyon and Bordeaux. All table football players, whether amateur or professional, French or foreign, agree that René Pierre table football combine playability with aesthetics and offer real playing sensations.
Yes, René Pierre table football has made its mark on the history of mini round football!
