Rostaing is a company created in 1789 by Joseph Rostaing which was at first a tannery. ==History== The history of Rostaing Group is deeply related to the one of the Rostaing family. Joseph Rostaing was living in Villieu, a small village in the French department of Ain, just 50 kilometers away from Lyon. Joseph Rostaing created in 1789 an artisanal tannery in the Toison's riverside. There, he used to produce vegetal leather to create shoes for postmen and soldiers. He died in 1830 and gave his tannery to his son, François Rostaing. François Rostaing succeeded into managing the business even though there was a major crisis following the revolution and the republican insurrection in Paris in 1848. Joannès Rostaing, his son, kept the old tradition by creating leather with tallow. This soft and fat leather was sold to horse's and ox’s tools specialists (harnesses, belts…). In 1920, Leon Rostaing, the great-grand-son, developed vegetal tanning with oak’s bark especially for shoes. The luxury bootmakers and shoemakers in Lyon, Paris and Cannes were then using soles buffered "TANNERY ROSTAING founded in 1789." This successful activity lasted until 1950. It was then difficult to keep the business going because the tools used were getting too old. Jean Rostaing, who was studying at the Tannery school in Lyon, joined the family company and developed in 1959 a new business: manufacturing protection gloves. He introduced the first protection gloves in leather for coppersmiths and iron makers during the 1960s. WRostaing developed water and oil repellent leathers and treated them against heat. Jean Rostaing was a partner of the first security group to protect workers all over their body. This group was at first shared with Essilor, VTN and Paraboot and lasted 50 years. Thanks to the French industrialization, the demand for gloves did not stop increasing and the company had a huge success. Rostaing also supplied the first personalized protection gloves for EDF. In 1976, the company launched its range of gloves used for gardening. In the same time period, the company has also outsourced some of its factories (Tunisia, Morocco and Vietnam). The branch in charge of producing gloves is now managed Jean Rostaing’s three children: Catherine, Jacques and Stéphane. In 2007, the company decided to go back to its roots by launching a new tannery based in Vietnam. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rostaing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
