Société J. F. Cail & Cie
The Société J.F Cail & Cie was founded in Paris on 6 June 1850 by Jean-François Cail (1804-1871). It was a French industrial company during the Second French Empire, whose activity was principally in sugar mills, railway locomotives and metal bridges.
History
The new company succeeded the Société Ch.Derosne et Cail, which was in difficulty following the French Revolution of 1848.
The headquarters of the enterprise and the factories were in the Chaillot district at 46 Quai de Billy 2 (now the Avenue de New York).[1] The business capital comprised 7 million Francs, making it the largest industrial enterprise in Paris.
Two month later, in September 1861, the Société J. F. Cail & Cie. changed its name to Participation JF Cail, Parent, Schaken, Houel et Caillet, Paris et Fives-Lille (the future company of Fives-Lille). This lasted until January 1870, when the Société J.F Cail was placed in liquidation and was replaced by Nouvelle Société J.F Cail. The founder Jean-François Cail died the following year.[2]
The Société J.F Cail & Cie disappeared in 1883,[3] replaced by the Société Anonyme des Anciens Établissements Cail.
