Aigle

In 1850, in the United States, the American engineer Hiram Hutchinson bought a patent from Charles Goodyear allowing him to manufacture rubber shoes, then left for France to found the Compagnie du Caoutchouc Souple near Montargis in 1853, which later became Hutchinson. Its production is marketed under the brand name À L'Aigle in homage to the American eagle, later simplified by "Aigle "1.
