Fonderie Paccard

Founded in 1796, the foundry has cast more than 120,000 bells located throughout the world.

[1] The foundry has been continuously operated by seven generations of the Paccard family.

Paccard is best known in the United States for its participation in the Liberty Bell Savings Bond Project.

As part of the Marshall Plan, the foundry cast 57 replicas of the Liberty Bell in 1950 and 1951.

Most of the bells were distributed, one each, to the then-48 U.S. states as tributes to their citizens' respective services in World War II.
