Based on the history posted on their website, that was the third amalgamation they went through in the 20th century, so it is perhaps not that extra-ordinary. Interestingly, shortly after the Brueil combination, they report that they scotched their earlier manufacturing techniques and modernized their barrel-making.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
