Abstract
Automobiles Peugeot considers the Sochaux site to be its birthplace. The site had been acquired in 1912, and activities there gradually expanded in tandem with the development of a production system based on principles of rational organisation that were adopted during the First World War. Sochaux remained the sole assembly factory of Automobile Peugeot until 1971, when a new assembly plant was opened at Mulhouse. Poissy, purchased in 1978, was later to become the company’s third assembly plant. For several decades, then, Peugeot-Sochaux was home to all the major activities involved in automobile production: foundry, forging, mechanical components, stamping, painting and final assembly.
