- Comment: This article still reads like a company brochure, not an encyclopedia article. Phrases like "global leader" and "eye-catching advertising campaign" are examples ad-speak. agtx 19:36, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

History
The origins of Desoutter's destiny
In 1914, the 5 Desoutter brothers were all keen pilots.
When one of them, Marcel Desoutter, lost a leg in a plane crash[2], he was fitted with an "uncomfortable wooden replacement". His brother Charles[3] helped him regain his mobility by designing a prototype for a new artificial leg[4][5] made of duralumin[1]. It was the first ever metal leg. Lighter and easyer to manoeuvre than wooden legs, Marcel was flying again by the following year.
This innovation was met with interest from an expanding circle of acquaintances who had fallen victim to the same fate and resulted in the founding of the Desoutter Company, headed by Marcel Desoutter.
Where does the horse's head come from?
The original idea for this symbol was accredited to Charles Cunliffe who headed Desoutter[6]’s Advertising department for many years after the Second World War.
This was a period of growth, particularly owing to the development of a new range of products.
Their launch was accompanied by a novel advertising campaign presenting diminutive figures in worker’s overalls, but with the heads of horses.
This horsepower concept was developed in many of the brand’s advertisements for about twenty years. The managing board at the time even decided that it was the embodiment of the company’s identity.
In 1973, the horse’s head was combined with the Desoutter logo script, which was a facsimile of Louis Albert Desoutter’s[7] signature[8], one of the company’s founders.
To mark the centenary of the brand, the emblem recently adopted a more contemporary graphic design.
From articial limbs to power tool manufacturing[9]
From the outset, Desoutter needed to develop specific pneumatic tools to ensure that the aluminum components of the artificial limbs were drilled efficiently.
Adjust to the numerous developments in its production, the company acquired expertise in this field that in the 1950s they decided to make it their sole business.
