Albert-Pierre Raymond (1840 – 1913) was a French industrialist. He was the founder of the ARaymond company (fr:ARaymond), and he patented the snap fastener. [3] His initial patent was filed on May 29, 1886.[4] He also patented this invention in the U.S. and Japan. [5]
ARaymond[edit]
In 1865, along with Benoît Allègre, an egraver, and Alexandre Guttin, a gilder, Albert-Pierre opened a workshop to manufacture snap fasteners to be integrated into textile gloves.[6] The snap fasteners replaced traditional glove buttons which were less practical.[7] To this day, ARaymond manufactures and offers fastening products in the fields of automotive, energy, agriculture, healthcare, and construction.[8] It is based in Grenoble, France.[9] More than 8,000 people work for ARaymond, which acquired rival company Tinnerman Palnut in 2009.[10] Since Albert-Pierre, the company has been run by Achille Raymond, Albert-Victor Raymond, Alain Raymond, and Antoine Raymond. [11]
Over the years ARaymond has expanded its presence in 25 countries.[12] These include countries such as USA,[13] Canada,[14] India,[15] Germany,[16] and South Korea.[17]
