In 1923, PLUMETTAZ, set up a three employee workshop in Vevey, Switzerland..

In 1943, PLUMETTAZwas joined by his son Fernand and they founded a company named PLUMETTAZ & Cie. It was during this time that the trade-mark “PLUMETT” was adopted, which is still used for all of the company’s products.

With the advent of fiber optical cables for telecommunications, including cable T.V. systems, the company developed a complete new line of equipment for placing and installation of these sensitive cables. They now have an exclusive world licence for the new "CABLEJET" system developed by the Netherlands PTT. The new system "floats" continuous lengths of fiber optical cables through installation tubing, using only compressed air, for distances up to several miles or kilometers.

Currently PLUMETTAZ S.A., which is certified to ISO 9001 : 2000, employs over 70 people in Bex, Switzerland.

The main equipment developed and produced are winches and cable feeders for underground cable laying of both energy and telecommunication cables, equipment designed for light overhead line construction, as well as jetting equipment for the installation of fibre optic and conventional telecommunication cables.

The products are sold and used in more than 60 countries throughout the world, all under the “PLUMETT”trademark
