The Horus Story

A visionary founder

As early as 1960, Mr. Nortier, creative and entrepreneur at heart, was already drawing the first sketches of what was to become of the Horus valve house.

Passion of falconry, this is what inspired him to give the name of Horus to his company which represents the Falcon God.

After difficult years

Orphan of its creator after the sale of the company, Horus lives difficult years and knows the crisis of 2008.

Horus rises from the ashes

Mr. Retailleau takes over the Maison and succeeded in restoring its letters of nobility to Horus by going back to its fundamentals: the excellence of its know-how in the creation of retro taps.

The House specializes and then equips the most beautiful palaces and hotels in the world in France and around the world.
