The foundry near town of Nancy was founded in 1905 by Camille Cavallier as a part of "Société Anonyme des Hauts Fourneaux et Fonderies de Pont-à-Mousson" company.

As the main site at Pont-a-Mousson was severely damaged by war during 1914-1918, the production moved to Foug temporarily.

After the second world war the foundry has been largely modernized. Foug is part of Saint-Gobain now, focused on grey-iron casts done by centrufugal and regular casting.
