The History of Mapide
1947
Claude Lacroix founded Mapéd, the "Precision Drawing and Measuring Instrument Design and Manufacturing Company" in Annaci, France, which gained a good reputation for its legendary copper compass. For nearly 40 years, Mapéd has focused on making geometric instruments for design rooms, designers and architects. Because, if you remember, before using a computer, a tilt table with a sliding ruler and a copper compass with a millimeter scale are the main tools for any drawing workstation before using the computer
1985
Mapéd welcomes its first diversified product – scissors. In this year, Jacques Lacroix took over the family business.
1992
Mapéd acquired Mallat, the leader in French erasers (including that idol-grade pink and blue double-headed eraser) and began making wipes and marking products.

Mapeide established a branch in Suzhou, China, which accelerated the diversification of the group's products and added staplers, hole punchers and office accessories products. This is a turning point in the group's business.
