Iwan Simonis Billiard Cloth in Online Business Directory

The town of Verviers arose in the flat basin formed by the valley of the river Vesdre. The water here was of such high quality, thanks to its low lime content, that it was particularly suitable for washing wool. It was in this valley, with its low fertility due to the stony, irregular ground, that the Simonis factory was set up in 1680 by Guillaume Henri Simon Simonis, a middle-class Verviers merchant born in the town in 1640 and known as “le Mercier” (“the haberdasher”). The company itself was established on a more permanent footing by Jacques Joseph Simonis and was named after his son Iwan, who was born in Verviers in 1769. The name Iwan Simonis is now synonymous with the highest quality billiard cloth.
