In 1800 Bavarian Paul Utzschneider started ceramic production in the German and French speaking Moselle. Napoleon I became one of his best customers and ordered several pieces. In 1836 Paul Utzschneider handed over the management of the factory to his son-in-law Alexandre de Geiger. In 1838 with the industrial revolution in full swing, Alexandre de Geiger associated himself with Villeroy & Boch increasing the growth of production. Around 1870 Sarreguemines started with the manufacturing of majolica at Utzschneider & Cie. Following the annexation of the Moselle to Germany, Alexandre de Geiger left Sarreguemines and retired in Paris in 1871. His son Paul de Geiger took over the management and two new factories were constructed at Digoin and Vitry-le-François. Paul de Geiger died in 1913, the year in which Utzschneider & Cie. was split into two companies, one responsible for the establishment in Sarreguemines and the other for the French factories
