In 1953, René Hugenschmidt is introduced
to recreational diving in Nervi, Italy. From
that moment on, he decides to dedicate
his life to Underwater Photography.
The young Swiss Engineer transformed
his Zürichzee workshop into a Hugyfot
plant, initially fabricating underwater
housings for Agfa, Edixa, Exakta, Kodak,
Leitz, Voigtländer, and Zeiss cameras.
Meanwhile, the Cousteau-Gagnan
regulator is released and the world’s first
diving magazine is pu blished in Paris.
Professor Hans Hass, Austrian Marine
Biologist and Underwater film pioneer,
known for his documentaries Adventures
in the Red Sea (1951) and Under the
Caribbean (1954), sparks people’s
interest in the underwater world. The
diving industry is starting to take shape.
In 2004 Luc Leys, manufacturer of
underwater lighting systems, takes
over the company and moves it to
Erembodegem in Belgium. The broad
experience this company has built in the
field of metal working and constructional
engineering is implemented in the
housings’ production process.
Hugyfot introduces the HugyCheck
system in 2009. This pre-dive check
system enables the photograper to
perform a vacuum test prior to entering
the water. This test indicates whether
the housing has been closed properly,
and whether the housings’ O-rings are in
good condition. The HugyCheck system
is awarded “Innovation of the year 2009”
during the DuikVaker dive show in Utrecht
(Netherlands).
In 2019 Hugyfot BV is founded by 2
former employees of the Hugyfot
production plant. Jutha and Sven
take all sales, marketing and product
development activities for there
account The production unit remains at
Erembodegem (Belgium).
Philosophy
At Hugyfot, our commitment to produce
top quality underwater housings reigns
