Givin g back to musical l i t has given to us
I am proud to offer you this special centennial edition in a year
which has proven rich and exciting in every respect. I wanted
it convivial and confidential but also very clear and compre-
hensive from a technical point of view. We need to keep you
informed about our products, your fidelity merits straightfor-
wardness and transparency. It also retraces the stages of evolu-
tion Vandoren has experienced in a century. Though built up
on a heritage and a rich past, the firm can only gain in
strength if our future prospects are promising. With the
passing of time, tools, machinery and products are being
perfected, but know-how remains the same We are far
closer to you now than yesterday. May tomorrow bring us even
closer. I am optimistic about the future: it belongs to the
young generations, for us as much as for you.
We have to give back to music all it has given to us

T H E FA M I LY S P I R I T
From the cane to the t ree
Being compared to a tree may seem unusual for a f irm l ike Vandoren, now centennial and exporting
throughout th e world. But perhaps this rather unexpected image really does reflect the true nature of this
company: a small f amily indu stry that ha s prospered from season to season and been reinforced by being
as f irmly rooted in its original soil as in its tradit ion and technical know-how.
And it really is a tree genealogically speaking. For Vandoren, a hundred years after i ts creation, is sti l l a fam ily
business. Eugnes passion espoused the talent and art ist ic qualit ies of Robert, and both of them later incorporated
Bernards technical expertise and his thi rst for modernising. Whats more, by call ing, for th e manufact uring of i ts pr o-
ducts, on numerous different sectors (agriculture, metallu rgy ), seldom the case in our currently overspecialised
world, Vandoren grew l ike a tree with mult iple ramifications.
But Vandoren is also a tree with f irm ly implant ed roots. For though the f irm exports over 90% of i ts producti on, i ts
manufacturing is sti l l authentically French, i ts factory sti l l in Bormes les Mimosas in the Var. And this is more than
economic patriotism, for the f irm is sti l l very attached to the spirit of i ts own tradit ion, al lying quality products to a
prestigious specialist label that has long proven its expertise and professionalism. The satisfaction of top musicians
is a pri celess prestige never to be jeopardised by some infelicitous relocation or excessive industrial expansion. Yet,
modernity is one of Vandorens chief objectives, notably in terms of research and technical in novation (research for a
constant hygrometry, research on new materials )
A century later, Vandoren resembles a beautif ul ly vibrant plant whose deep roots and promising b uds are wat ered
