Because of its close proximity to the Montmartre Cemetary, which dominates the city of Saint-Etienne, the Gomet Co. had specialized in the memorial trade for many years after its foundation in 1936 by Michel Gomet. However, the company underwent a profound diversification of activities at the start of 1986, at which time Louis Gomet, a third generation stonemason who now heads the company, began working for the firm. Louis Gomet was in turn succeeding his father Claude.
Louis Gomet was more inclined toward fabricating granite for architectural use than for the monument industry. And after about 15 years, he changed the overall direction of the company. As a result, 70% of the company's turnover in 2002 was comprised of stone fabrication for the countertop/vanity sector.
