Ancienne usine de matériel électrique industriel

Currently the Bodouin garage
At the end of the 19th century, Bosshard founded an electrical equipment factory at Le Moulinet, which was moved to its current location before 1910. In 1913, the Poirier brothers took over the company under the name Bosshard, Poirier Frères et Cie. The factory was looted in 1915, and a restoration was carried out in 1920.

The company diversified its activities to produce and repair generators, electric motors, alternators, transformers, as well as lifting equipment. After production ceased (date unknown), the site was taken over by the Automobile Club des Ardennes, then by the Baudoin garage.

Around 10 workers worked there around 1900. Situated near a railway line, the factory consisted of a main brick building with a metal roof, with offices and living quarters upstairs. Behind it was the workshop, and to the west, two warehouses.
