FISSETTE establishments, since 1931
1931 to 2017
Three generations succeed each other at the head of the current Fissette SPRL.
From 1931 and especially after the 1940 war, Léopold and Olga Fissette, the founders, experienced the beginnings of household appliances, radio, black and white TV with a lot of troubleshooting and a fleet of technicians in yellow vans.
A patent for a directional antenna was obtained at this time, the store and construction workshops were then located on rue St Jean Baptiste.
1973: The new company is created in a new building on rue Feronstrée
Their son Marcel had a new building built on rue Féronstrée in 1973 and the new company Fissette SPRL was formed.
This is the era of the development of electronic components and integrated circuits, the counter specializes and supplies both individuals and industry in the Liège area, notably Cockerill and the FN. Household appliances are no longer part of the range, hi-fi is making its appearance with amps, videos and color TVs... midis and mini channels are popular... Marantz, Lenco, Technics, Pioneer, etc.
It was also the flourishing years of the Salon Liégeois de la Hifi, with André Maréchal, and of which Marcel Fissette was president for a while...before his unexpected disappearance in 1981.
His children, Jean-Marie and Joëlle, take up the torch and continue the specialization of the electronic counter.
Surrounded by dynamic and professional collaborators, they develop sound systems and lights with high-end brands: Pioneer, Denon DJ, Allen & Heath, Behringer, etc., which makes it possible to supply professional DJs, clubs, etc. The store also develops a Hifi & Public Address department, and offers sound systems for restaurants, businesses, churches, etc. The service is assured and quotes are made to measure, both in this sector and for video surveillance, which is also experiencing good development, both for surfaces commercial and private.
In 2002 the store was completely and thoroughly renovated, brought up to standard and able to offer non-stop demos of all the equipment.
