Our History

It all started with Charles Baudouin creating a small, petrol-fueled canoe engine that would later be marked in history as the first official ‘Baudouin engine’.

The Baudouin metal foundry family business underwent a dramatic change in 1918 post the First World War. The ringing of bells was replaced with the whirring of engine motors. Today, the brand is reckoned as a dominating force in the world of marine propulsion.
