DIVERSIFICATION OF PEUGEOT'S ACTIVITIES
DIVERSIFICATION OF PEUGEOT'S ACTIVITIES
Since the very beginning, PEUGEOT has diversified its production yet has always remained industrially consistent. Its strategy has constantly been in tune with the needs of the time and the environment.

FIRST MANUFACTURING DIVERSIFICATION
PEUGEOT Frères began manufacturing hand tools for all trades.
