Louis Sellier, the founder of Sellier and Bellot, got his start manufacturing percussion caps for the infantry in 1825. Although he began production at the specific request of Francis I, the Emperor of Austria, the company quickly flourished, and before he knew it, Louis Sellier had an established, respected company both in European markets and overseas. He took on a partner, Jean Maria Nicolaus Bellot, and today their company has gained world renown for their production of good quality ammunition.
