Villeroy & Boch History:  The Villeroy and Boch Co. opened and began producing porcelain in 1748 under the direction of Francois Boch and his sons, Pierre-Joseph, Dominique, and Jean-Francois. The Boch family was held in high esteem by the townspeople of Audun-le-Tiche, France.  . Unfortunately the Villeroy and Boch factory was devastated by the war. After the Americans crossed the Saarland border, it took eight months to clear the ruins of the Villeroy and Boch factories.  The second half of the twentieth century has proved to be extremely profitable for Villeroy and Boch though. After war reconstruction was completed, the company was deemed the largest manufacturer of ceramic products in Europe.  Although the company has faced tremendous challenges and adversity, Villeroy and Boch continues to be a global leader in the production of ceramic products.
