History:

The Sergeys bellfoundry was begun by Constant Sergeys (1855-1935), continued by his son François (1896-1982) and his grandson Jacques (1933-).  It operated in Chênée, Belgium (not far from Liége/Luik) from 1893 to 1928, when it was moved to Leuven/Louvain.  In the last few years before the foundry was closed in 1980, casting work was subcontracted to Eijsbouts and others.  After closure, the foundry was dismantled, and the business was sold to Clock-O-Matic.
