André Michelin
André Michelin (16 January 1853 - 4 April 1931) was a French industrialist who, with his brother Édouard (1859-1940), founded the Michelin Tyre Company (Compagnie Générale Des Établissements Michelin) in 1888 in the French city of Clermont-Ferrand.
In 1900 André Michelin published the first Michelin Guide, the purpose of which was to promote tourism by car, thereby supporting his tyre manufacturing operation.
