Electricity was being produced by dynamos in which the current was transmitted by sliding contacts in the form of <strong>small brushes made of carbon</strong> : another major market that would underpin Mersen’s growth.</p> <p>In addition, electrical networks also required distribution, control and protection equipment : Mersen rapidly became a leader in the <strong>electrical appliances industry.</strong></p> <p>The adventure began with two entrepreneurs, <strong>Maurice Lacombe</strong> and <strong>Fabius Henrion</strong>. Their companies - Le Carbone and the Compagnie Lorraine de Charbons - merged in 1937 to give rise to <strong>the Carbone Lorraine group</strong>.
