The Fabriques d'Assortiments Réunies Société Anonyme was established officially on September 5, 1932. It was located in Neuchâtel on Rue Girardet 60, and had an initial share capital of 6 million francs and was entirely owned by ASUAG.

Authorized representatives in Le Sentier were Georges Gallay and Marguerite Gallay, who ran the factory there.
