Founded in 1948 in a small suburb of
Paris, France, Sevylor began as an electronics
company. The company was contracted to
produce high frequency welding machines
capable of fusing a new material called
PVC (poly vinyl chloride). The machines
worked very well and the American company
owned by a friend developed a very successful
business manufacturing swimming pool related
products.
One
of the first PVC products was inflatable
bathtub that became an instant hit in
postwar France - mothers could bathe their
children even where no facilities were
available. Soon, the company added small
pools and flotation devices such as rings,
beach balls, and inflatable swim jackets
to its product line. Safe, hygienic products,
made of PVC and designed for portability,
durability and convenience, became the
trademark.
The
company, originally named SEVY added the
letters "lor" to its name, and
became Sevylor. In French, l'or means
gold. By coincidence, or possibly fate,
Sevylor has proven to be "as good
as gold."
We
stock a wide range of products from the
Sevylor line and can order virtually anything
for you -- Just ask!
