Balency et Schuhl was founded in 1909 by MM.Canal and Schulh, pioneers in reinforced concrete technology known for the unusually solid framework they used to build the Georges V hotel in Paris. André Balency-Béarn took over the company's management as of 1935. Balency et Schulh took part in the construction of the CNIT conference centre in La Défense. It also focused on heavy prefabrication techniques, and developed a process for prefabricated individual homes. In 1965, Balency et Schuhl was purchased by Pont-à-Mousson. Alongside GTBA, it helped create SOBEA, which later became Sogea.
