Founded in Moirans-en-Montagne in 1911, the Maison Vilac has provided wooden toys to several generations of children. The workshop is even the official supplier of Santa Claus' factory in Finland. In 1951, the Villet brothers had the idea of producing unbreakable, brightly colored toys that could be easily cleaned. They had them covered with lacquers that did not flake (Luxémail lacquer). Today, the company labeled Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) has developed an automated slow soaking system of its own.
