Shipbuilder BENETEAU

BENETEAU is a French shipbuilder, a subsidiary of the BENETEAU group. Founded in 1884 by Benjamin Bénéteau, in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie in Vendée. Benjamin Bénéteau, begins with the construction of robust sail trawlers. His objective was to produce boats for the artisanal fishing industry by being innovative, he launched the first sailing trawler, then the first motor tuna in 1912. In 1964, the third generation of the Bénéteau family, Annette Roux and André Bénéteau opened up to yachting and introduced polyester resin, which replaced wood in the construction of new ranges of boats. After nearly a century of shipbuilding, Bénéteau experienced an artistic crisis within society, in 1976 she decided to collaborate with an architect from outside the family, a first for the latter. In 1982, Bénéteau became the world leader in the sailboat market and celebrated its centenary in 1984, the year in which it was listed on the stock exchange. During the 90s, the company grew and became the BENETEAU group with the takeover of CNB, Jeanneau, Lagoon, Wauquiez.
