Touax’s origins can be traced back to 14 July 1855, when a French imperial decree established a company called Compagnie de Touage de la Basse Seine et de l’Oise to operate a river transport service on the Seine and Oise rivers. |
|||
By 1898, the company towed almost 75% of the traffic on the Seine and 70% on the Oise, and changed its name to Société Générale de Touage et de Remorquage (the name it held until 1994). The company listed on the Paris stock exchange on 7 May 1906, thus opening new horizons for business expansion. |

Numerous technological advancements were made in the first half of the 20th century. Touax became the first public operator in France to build industrial barges. |

In 1954 the company ordered its first railcars, which were then managed by two independent operators. |
