Founding of Grandjouan and Soulier

Francois Grandjouan won a contract with the municipality of Nantes to "clear the streets of sewage and waste and convert the latter into mature". In 1870, Soulier Brothers set up a business in Rouen and Chauny to collect, buy and sell old rags and paper. Both businesses merged with CGE, in 1980 and 1990 respectively.
