Founded by Constant and Zénon Lacroix, whose father Eugine was an employee of the Delacour factory in the 19th century, in 1926, Lacroix have been making fine pipes ever since. Though some of the company was absorbed into what is now Chacom when André and Jean Lacroix parted ways in 1963, the Lacroix brand continues even now under the A. Lacroix name, and under the helm of Gaël Coulon, who took over from Gérard Lacroix in 2009.
