The historyhistory
The establishment of Petrus Regout glass and earthenware companies marked a turning point in Maastricht's history. With the establishment of his factories at the Boschstraat, the industrialisation of the Netherlands started and Regout became the first large industrialist.
Sphinx was Maastricht's largest employer until the mid-twentieth century. This was followed by a merger with another Maastricht pottery company, the Société Céramique. Production was concentrated in the factories at the Boschstraat and Sphinx continued as NV Sphinx Céramique.
