Historical Background

DMC (Dollfus-Mieg et Compagnie) was founded as a textile company in Mulhouse, Alsace, in 1746, making it one of the oldest continuously operating thread manufacturers in the world. Trademark infringements were reported as early as 1850, with the first prosecutions occurring in 1853 — placing DMC among the earliest companies to actively enforce its brand through legal action.
