History
Pierre Narozni, a carpenter by training, made frames for his brother Henri, a painter.
In 1963, he decided to create "Intertoile" to provide 100% of his brother's needs and offered his paintings to artists of the region.
With two frames to coat his canvases, Pierre is quickly limited. He then decided to invest in 8 new chassis and employed his first employees in 1973.
This is the beginning of the "industrialization" of the company, of the first manufacturing secrets precisely hidden and especially the creation of TAD and the brand ARTFIX.
From 1974, new horizons opened up for the company: the first rolls intended for export left the company.
It was on this date that Philippe Narozni, son of the founder, joined the family business and gradually replaced his father at the head.
He developed work techniques there, double the production teams, allowing him to sell more than 8,000 rolls of canvas / Year.
In 1997, the Max Sauer group bought the company and sold it in 2023 to CHASSIS FRANCE, a company headed by Henri Decanter.
Pierre, Henri's younger brother, took over the management in May 2023 with the aim of developing ARTFIX's notoriety and know-how in France and abroad... while preserving artisanal production techniques and especially the quality!
