Takeover of the Company by Julien BONTE
|
In 1950, Julien-BONTE, from Roubaix (France), took control of the Company and gave up the traditional activity to concentrate on the manufacture of cardigans, sweaters, including the famous "Real Breton Fisherman's Sweater" knitted in Pure Wool.
With such thick and tight knitwear, they are considered almost waterproof... Knitted very close to the body, this sweater becomes "the seafarers' second skin".
Leaving his native North, along with his family, by his faith in the future and his determination, Julien BONTE, assisted by his son, saved the Company from decline.
