Jean Charles Juliat passes away
Jean Charles Juliat, the second-generation CEO of lighting manufacturer Robert Juliat, has died at the age of 76. He led the company for more than 30 years, from 1975 until 2009 when he handed reins to his son, François Juliat.
It was Jean Charles who introduced architectural and outdoor lighting to the family company, which was started by his father, Robert Juliat, in 1919. As the company gears up for its centennial celebrations, it will be a shame that the man who led for much its histroy will not be present. However, Jean Charles leaves behind his two sons, François Juliat and Frédéric Juliat, to carry the mantle, and his wife, Marie-France.
