When Léon Guilbert set up his business, he quickly realized that he would have to segment it.
Léon Guilbert launched two flagship brands: #Express for soldering lamps, and #rapide for roofing irons and electric soldering irons.
#120years
The Express #hydrogen roofing iron launched in 2024 was the first tool to offer roofing professionals almost totally #decarbonized use! It could be used by #hornworkers and #roofing companies working in the workshop.
#120years
Before becoming the world leader in heating tools, Léon Guilbert, the founder of Guilbert Express, started out manufacturing gas-lighting lamps, which he sold two years after its creation. On that date, he became a fully-fledged manufacturer of soldering lamps. #120years
The #chalumeau Vulcane Express from Guilbert Express was the first heating tool to embrace the concept of #self-maintenance. As such, Vulcane Express and all its subsequent variants were immediately perceived as a revolution by craftsmen.

Guilbert Express a développé durant les 30 glorieuses (1950/1970) une politique de communication institutionnelle visant à présenter ses savoir-faire et à faire "sonner" le nom de ses marques d'alors.
C'est l'une de ces annonces qui vous est aujourd'hui présentée.
