History

Established in 1922 withAlfred Renardas its chief designer, the company designed a series of trainer/tourer aircraft in the 1920s and 1930s, all prefixed RSV (for Renard, Stampe & Vertongen). In the early 1930s Alfred Renard left to join a company he had formed with his brother Georges RenardSociété Anonyme d'Avions et de Moteurs Renard.The RSV company designation prefix then changed to SV. The company's most successful design was theSV.4of 1933, a light tourer/trainer biplane powered by ade Havilland Gipsy IIIengine. Although only 35 were produced before the start of thewar,a total of 940 were built, mainly under licence by other companies.

The company was renamedStampe et Renardwhen Stampe-Vertongen merged with the Renard company. Owing to the German invasion production ceased on 10 May 1940. Post-war activities did not meet with much success, and the company closed down in 1957.
