Invicta: what is its history?

Invicta, the famous pellet stove designer, is a brand that entered the industry in 1924. It was founded by Fernand Sueur, and its first physical location was in the Ardennes.

At the end of the 20th century, the company introduced other product families. From cast iron furniture to kitchen utensils, parasol stands, table bases, trivets, and casseroles, there were many options available. But that's not all!
