Company history

The Paris-based company mainly manufactured automotive accessories. In December 1898 it presented a used car of unknown origin at a bicycle exhibition, which was equipped with a patented carburetor and a particularly easy-to-use gearbox. It was not until 1906 that the actual production of automobiles began. The brand name was Dorey . After an interruption from 1907 to 1912, production was finally stopped in 1913.
