History

Electricfil was created in La Boisse by Johanny Thollin (1889-962)[5]) in 1936[6] with the assistance of his stepfather Joseph Guinet. He was mayor of La Boisse from the year 1908 to 1938. He was then the head of a small Braided Fabric electrical cable factory in La Boisse and in 1968 the company relocated to Beynost.[7]

The company announced in 2021 that they would have a turnover of 202 million euros[8] for the whole company (around 1,700 employees).[9]

In 2015, the company announced the creation of an incubator for innovative start-ups.[10]
