OUR HISTORY

EuroCave, a pioneering company that has become the gold standard for wine cabinets throughout the world.


Our history

It was whilst looking for a solution for storing his own wine that Monsieur Martin, an experienced wine enthusiast, invented “The EuroCave”. The very first wine cabinet. Since then, our dedicated teams have been working daily on defining and designing the products of the future. Many of our innovations are protected by patents. Our products are manufactured in France and distributed throughout the world by professionals specialized in storing and serving wine.

 

  • 1976, the birth of a great brand

Through their love of wine, a team of wine enthusiasts created the first wine cabinets for storing wine and registered the EuroCave trademark. At 74 years of age, René Martin adopted this innovative and promising concept then started production by setting up the production plant in Fourmies (59). The first EuroCave cabinet was created!

  • 1992, a new factory

The family company was acquired by a group of investors. The factory in Fourmies was completely rebuilt at the end of 1993, not far from the first EuroCave factory, in the place where it still has its headquarters.
