In the early 1930s Alfred Renard left to join the company he had formed with his brother Georges Renard company Société Anonyme de Avions et Moteurs Renard. The company designation prefix then changed to SV. The companies most succesfull design was the SV.4 of 1933 a light tourer/trainer biplane powered by a de Havilland Gipsy III engine.
