1854 The Forges et Aciéries de la Marine et des chemins de fer were established by the merger of four local steel companies. The managers were Hippolyte Petin (b. Amiens, Somme, November 12, 1813, died Rive-de-Gier, Loire, February 3, 1892) and Picard and Jean-Marie Gaudet (b.Pont-d'Ain, April 3, 1815, died Châteauneuf, Loire, December 7, 1886) and brothers Charles Jackson and William Jackson (Jackson Frères). In 1855, the Petin and Gaudet forges accounted for 41% of the turnover but 46% of the group’s profits. After the withdrawal of Charles and William Jackson, the company became, on November 11, 1857, Hippolyte Petin, Gaudet & Cie.[1]
