Focquet’s biggest milestone was in 1996, when the company decided to market new slipring and squirrel-cage motors under its own trademark: European Electric Company (2€C).

They were followed by other new equipment, including: Transformers, direct-current motors, soft starters, variable speed drives AC/DC, alternators, pumps, electric power generators, etc.

Due to the gradual replacement of steam-driven motors by diesel motors in the years 1950-1960, Focquet decided to focus mainly on reconditioned electric machines. The company will then be modernized and restructured in the 1990s. Since then, the company has experienced an uninterrupted growth.
