Emile Bruylant took over Bruylant–Christophe et Cie from his father, Jean Baptiste. Continuing to focus on legal books, he changed the company name to Etablissements Emile Bruylant in 1907 and ran it alongside Ernest Vandeveld. Both Bruylant and Vandeveld were Presidents of the Belgian Cercle de la Librairie, Vandeveld was a co–founder of the Syndicat des Editeurs Belges (now the Association des Editeurs Belges–ADEB). 5 generations of the Vandeveld family lead the Etablissements Emile Bruylant, which still exists, as part of the Groupe Larcier, and celebrated its 175^th anniversary in 2013.
