Groupement Suisse des Fabricants de Ressorts d'Horlogerie

The Groupement Suisse des Fabricants de Ressorts d'Horlogerie was established in 1945 to "safeguard the material and professional interests of the watch spring industry." It replaced the earlier Société Suisse des Fabricants de Ressorts, converting the legal structure of that organization from a cooperative society into an association. It was founded in Boudry by E. Bleuer.

The Société Suisse des Fabricants de Ressorts was established in 1907 by the Chambre Suisse de l'Horlogerie in response to widespread strikes in the watch spring industry. The organization regulated working hours, pay, and conditions at the various watch spring workshops, especially in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
