POURTIER manufactured winding machines for the textile industry, then developed the first insulating machine for flexible cables, followed by insulating machines for telephone cables. 
SETIC braided cotton thread for textile manufacturers. 
POURTIER rode the wave with emergence of high-speed vertical pairing and quadding machines, high-voltage paper insulation tape machines with up to 16 pads on each head and telephone wire insulation machines, of which more than 6,000 were produced & delivered at that time. 
The explosion, in the years 1960, of the needs related to the telephone, made it possible to develop the so-called "double twist" machines to twist copper wires and multiwire pay-offs. 
In 1987, SETIC was acquired by GAUDER & Co., (Belgium). Subsequently, in the 1990s, the rise of computer networks opened up new perspectives: SETIC developed a very wide range of equipment for communication cables, becoming the market leader in LAN (Local Area Network) equipment. 
As a logical extension of expertise in designing and manufacturing rotating machines POURTIER offered its experience in the production of stranding/cabling machines for high and very high voltage electric cables and integrates the group in 2002. 
Upon market request, SETIC creates an internal dedicated department to develop same level of technology bows for other machine brands : BOW TECHNOLOGY was born.
