Even if there were no more couteliers working in the valley and fewer than 10 in the Vallée des Usines in none }}, Thiers remains the largest center of cutlery in France since the 19th century. In fact, while the companies left the Durolle in the second half of the 20th century, they moved to the industrial areas in the rest of the town. For this reason, in 2015, the Puy-de-Dôme Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) counted cutlery manufacturers employing people directly and close to people indirectly. Including the artisan couteliers, 94% of cutlery businesses and 99% of cutlery jobs in Auvergne are located in Thiers.
