Beneteau or Bénéteau (Euronext: BEN) is a French sail and motor boat manufacturer, with production facilities in France and the United States.[1]
History
Shipwright Benjamin Bénéteau founded the company[2][3] in 1884, at Croix-de-Vie, France to build sailing trawlers.[4] In the mid sixties, Benjamin's grandchildren Annette Bénéteau Roux[5] and her brother André Bénéteau introduced a line of fiberglass boats.
