Talabot & Cie.[4]In 1881 a rolling mill hall was built with two mills.[5]In 1882 a coke-fired blast furnace was installed for production of cast iron.The first hydroelectric power station was built in 1898, supplying electricity to the factory and the village.[6]During the period from 1884 to 1934 many peasants came to work in the steel works from Cahuzaguet,Saint-Grégoire,Arthès, les Avalats andMarsal.Many settled in Saint-Juéry, which grew from 1,400 inhabitants in the 19th century to 7,000 inhabitants as of 2015.[7]With the collapse of the iron and steel industry, the factory closed in 1983.[6]As of 2015 there were still steel enterprises in the village of Saint-Juéry that employed over 250 people making hydraulic and oil valves, agricultural tools and speciality steel.[7]
