Chagny

In the heart of Burgundy, Chagny's two production units are located in a town with over a century of tile-making tradition.

The TERREAL 1 (also known as Chagny 1 or Chagny-Ville) was founded in 1881 and is situated within the town. Our second plant, TERREAL 2 (also known as Chagny 2 or Chagny-Forêt), was built in 2007 to strengthen our position in the northern French roof tile market.
