In 1988, DEJOIE specialized in aluminum foundry, becomes a subsidiary of LEMER group. DEJOIE continues in particular safety seals activity, as last French manufacturer for lead seals. Since 1949 (first market with the French post company) DEJOIE manufactures in addition aluminum wall or column mailboxes for the French post company and for abroad companies (Marocco, Algeria, Qatar, Saoudi Arabia…), town halls, administrations, private customers.
