Our store and our team
A little history…
From 1953 to today
For more than 60 years, the world of couture has held no secrets for the Stecker family.
Services, products and the store have not stopped evolving over the years.
Discover the history of Ets Stecker.
1953 The beginnings
The house was founded in 1953 by Mr. Sauboin – Pierson.
At the time, the brave man traveled the roads and offered his services to the inhabitants of the surrounding villages. So much so that the name Sauboin remained established in the region for a long time.
1958 The mission continues
Mr. Henri Stecker – Sauboin continues the mission undertaken by his father-in-law, remaining at the service of housewives and their sewing machines.

The shop
Here is the store as it was in 1965.
1981
The succession is assured
At the rate of sales, the reputation of Maison Stecker grew and when in 1981, Mr. Jean-Claude Stecker and his wife Jacqueline Mary decided to extend this formidable activity, they undoubtedly benefited from the excellent work carried out by the two previous generations.
1985
Choice of stecker sewing machines
A vast choice
Already in 1985, Ets Stecker offered a wide choice of sewing and embroidery machines from the biggest brands.
1981 Training our customers
At the same time, sewing courses are organized so that our customers can use their machine in an optimal way.
Since then, at 126 bis rue de la Gare in Bertrix, you learn the techniques and mysteries of sewing, embroidery and patchwork through courses organized in the creative center. You make blouses, skirts, jackets, fashion accessories, embroidery, etc.
The digital adventure
The end of the 90s was marked by the advent of the internet and sites such as Yahoo, Amazon, Ebay, … but also http://www.stecker.be
Mr. Stecker surfed the wave of the web successfully by launching the first Ets Stecker website in 1999.
1999
From this date, the family success story will take a new flight.
The company will expand its notoriety across Europe to become one of the leaders in the world of couture. Despite the distance, the quality of services remains unchanged.
