The man who changed the face of the tyres industry is no longer with us

88 year-old Francois Michelin passed away, as announced by a humble announcement from his family

Always humble and ever enterprising in life, Francois Michelin is no longer with us.

 

The 88 year-old Francois held the family company’s reigns for more than half a century, which was enough to turn the medium-sized business into a worldwide colossus of industry which became a hallmark around the globe.

 

He will be missed and thanked by many generations to come for his innovations and works.
