This blog is about 75 years Picanol Group. However, more appropriate would be 83 years. When looking back at our history, 1928 is the first year to appear on the timeline. In that year, the ‘Van Steenkiste Company to Promote Industrialization of Flax Fiber Production, Foundry and Workshops’ was founded, forming the basis for the later Picanol. So why 1936 as starting date for 75 years of Picanol? 1936 is the first year that Picanol (at that time still Picañol, we will come back to this) appeared. On September 22, 1936 the company Van Steenkiste was transformed into "Weefautomaten Picañol NV, marking the birth of the Picanol Group as we know it today.
