 History of SIMCA - company and cars
Pigozzi actually had a long association with Fiat — in 1922, he had met Giovanni Agnelli, and from this came a lucrative business in returning scrap cars to Turin in the name of recycling.
Following this, Pigozzi became responsible for a Fiat distribution chain in France called SAFAF (Société Anonyme Français des Automobiles FIAT), and this was followed by a medium-sized assembly operation based at a plant in Suresnes (on the edge of Paris) which used components which were imported or built under licence in Paris.
SIMCA founder Henri-Théodore Pigozzi died in 1964, and was replaced by Georges Hereil.

 Classic-Car-Revue - Simca 6CV - Geschichte
Pigozzi war nach der Weltwirtschaftskrise davon ausgegangen, dass es sich nicht lohnte nur hochpreisige Luxuskarrossen zu bauen - nein, die Masse musste mit zuverlässigen, kleinen und sparsamen Fahrzeugen motorisiert werden.
Und hier zeigte sich, dass Pigozzi mit seiner Zusammenarbeit mit FIAT auf das richtige Pferd gesetzt hatte.
Da Pigozzi die Fabrik in Nanterre von Grund auf neu aufbauen musste, verfügte er von Anbeginn an über modernste Fertigungsanlagen.

In 1922, Pigozzi met Carlo Carmone, who introduced him to Giovanni Agnelli, the founder and patron of FIAT.
The actions of Pigozzi, even if it apparently hazardous, were actually supported by a well prepared plan: it was precisely the difficult situation of the national market which had encouraged him to estimate that by offering the public a variety of small-engined, popular cars at a moderate price, it would become a great commercial success.
There were the two models in of the pre-war period, but Pigozzi was already designing a car which SIMCA would build without the assistance of FIAT.
