As to McKeown's Price Guide to Antique & Classic cameras:
 
−
"The company was founded by Victor Planchon, Boulogne & Lyon, France.
 
−
Hirlemann & Moreau (later Héard & Mallinjod)  made a 6x9cm and 9x12cm folding plate cameras in c.1920-28 under the Hemax label. After those dates some Hemax cameras are found under the PLAVIC label (PLAnchon VICtor). Victor Planchon collaborated with the Lumiere brothers in fabricating the first films for the Cinematographe in Boulogne-sur-mer and later in Lyon. He became director of the Lumiere factory in the Lyon suburb of Feysin where he made and distributed films with Lumiere emulsions under the name Plavic. For some, he also sold Plavic cameras in 9x12cm, 6x9cm sizes, before these became Lumiere cameras."

AFAIK, There is no information about the manufacturers of the Plavic marked lenses.
 
−
Plavic marked cameras were Pliant 127 and 6x9 folders and Le Plavico De Luxe 6x9 Box camera, Plavic 9x12 plate camera and they were same cameras of other brands.
