OCB
HISTORY

Our brand was born in 1918 in France, on the banks of the River Odet.

1822

It all began in Bretagne, in 1822. More than 100 years have passed since then, in which we have learned to master the production of rolling paper and more.

100 YEARS OF EXPERTISE
AND INNOVATION

1918

Birth of the “OCB” trademark (trademark registered at the National Institute of Industrial Property in 1923); the first packs of OCB papers were produced.

1922

Great celebration of the company centenary. The company organized a series of major celebrations of the company centenary: over five hundred people took part, with a procession, fanfare, demonstrations by gymnasts, dances, carousels, etc. The celebration lasted 8 days.

1923

The “Le Coq Français” rolling paper trademark was founded.

1930

The two mills produced nearly 2,000 tons of paper on reels and 86 million packs of cigarette paper. 90% of this production was exported, mainly to the USA.

1939

During the occupation, the mills practically came to a standstill (only one continued to operate, at 20% of its production potential); it became impossible to export paper across the Atlantic. From 1938, with the help of French engineers from the company, a huge mill had been set up in North Carolina, enough to supply America’s needs.

1951

Facilities were expanded in 1951 and 1960. The mill, which had up to 350 employees, made religious book paper (it was the sole French supplier to Pléiade Publications), tea bags and insulating paper for electric condensers.

1981

A new step of development allows the company to grow big: it turned into a prestigious, internationally-known Group that gives the rolling paper and OCB the industrial means to ensure its future.

1986

In 1986, the group transferred rolling paper production to its factory in Perpignan.

2000

The Republic Group and main customer since the 1960s, bought the OCB trademark and the Perpignan factory. The new ownership gave OCB the means and resources in terms of production and sales to innovate and grow.

2018

OCB celebrated 100 years and it becomes a centry brand since its birth in 1918.

2020

In January 2020, the electricity used in our entire production plant is produced from renewable energy sources: WIND / SOLAR / HYDROPOWER / BIOMASS
