Details
In 1844 the general partnership "Boch Frères" was founded under the leadership of Victor BOCH. The factory was located on the territory of the municipality of Saint-Vaast in Hainaut (Belgium). Geographically, this was ideal because of ore deposits, mine shafts in which excellent lean coal was extracted. In addition, you also had the Charleroi canal nearby. Thanks to its favorable geographic location, the faience factory has been successful from the outset. It has gained a solid reputation through royal visits and numerous awards at international exhibitions (including Paris: 1855, London: 1862, Porto 1865, Paris 1867 and Amsterdam 1869).

In 1844 werd de vennootschap onder firma " Boch Frères" opgericht onder leiding van Victor BOCH.
De fabriek was gelegen op het grondgebied van de gemeente Saint-Vaast in Henegouwen (België). Geografisch gezien was dit ideaal omwille van ertslagen, mijnschachten waarin uitstekende magere steenkool werd gewonnen. Daarnaast had je ook in de nabijheid het kanaal van Charleroi.
Dankzij de gunstige geografische ligging is de faïencefabriek van meet af aan succesvol. Ze bout een stevige reputatie op door koninklijke bezoeken en door talrijke onderscheidingen behaald op internationale tentoonstellingen (o.a. Parijs: 1855, Londen: 1862, Porto 1865, Parijs 1867 en Amsterdam 1869).
