The name has such an impact and enjoys such notoriety that Degrenne, which made the Olympic torch on behalf of the ArcelorMittal group and not in its own name, is in everyone's mind associated with this symbol of the Paris 2024 Games. Degrenne has been awarded the "Entreprise du patrimoine vivant" (Living Heritage Company) label, and is a fixture on everyone's table, from top chefs to private customers. This is the success story, with its ups and downs, of a company which, thanks to its unique know-how and expertise, has been making a name for itself for 76 years.
