Some key dates

In 1888, Émile Chaix founds Laboratoire Chaix in Paris, which specialises in the manufacture and sale of organotherapeutic products and injectable solutions.
Laboratoire du Marais has a parallel history with Laboratoire Chaix and has followed a similar development trajectory : it also develops opotherapy drugs in injectable form. It owes its name to the Parisian district in which it is located, home to numerous pharmacies and suppliers.

In 1907, Henri Hugon joins forces and then acquires the Laboratoire Du Marais in Paris in 1932 and subsequently trades under the Lavoisier brand name. The CDM Lavoisier company is therefore the heir to this history which unites the two pharmaceutical firms. It has been able to consolidate its specificity, meet challenges and continue to innovate.

Our company is one of the few family businesses to have reached the fourth generation of senior managers. In fact, Philippe Truelle, the current Chairman and CEO, is the great-grandson of Henri Hugon.
