German language services opened in 1891. In 1922 the cantonal Farming and Wine Production school was founded in Marcelin, the building is now the Agrilogie Marcelin.
A number of companies dominated the economic life of the municipality in the 19th and 20th Century: a gas factory (1867�1932), the transport company Friderici AG (1890), the biscuit factory Oulevay AG (1899�1992), the metal construction workshop Soci�t� industrielle de Lausanne (1907�79), the foundry Neeser AG (1947) and the pasta factory Gala (1988�2005). Between 1900 and 1940, the city extended further, with new villas and suburbs springing up. The first zoning plan of 1934 was followed by further plans in 1957 and 1970. Between 1961-64 the highway was built, that divides the municipality into two parts. Since 2007, the municipality has been part of the agglomeration of Lausanne- Morges project. This project aims to create 30,000 jobs by 2020
