Fitchel and Sachs, a French company is/was a comglomeration of various component comapnies. Huret (derailleurs), Maillard (hubs and pedal), Sedis (chains)and CLB (brakes) made up the comapny.

SRAM purchased Sachs from their German parent in 2001.

Sachs components were nothing special and always a year or 2 beihind industry titan Shimano. Sachs 'Ergopower' shifter/brake combination wasnt a Campy knock-off.....they were Campy.
