In 2023, AIGLE unveiled its new visual identity. Now, in 2024, the company is introducing an updated version of its logo, one that puts the animal back out in nature again and reincorporates it into its signature.
In Hiram Hutchinson’s days, rubber had already been developed, but showed little resistance to high temperatures. Through vulcanization, Hutchinson made rubber more resilient to changes in temperature. He heated the material in a pressurized atmosphere, making it less brittle in the cold and less sticky in heat.
The process was used from 1842 to make rubber more elastic and waterproof, revolutionizing production and inspiring the American entrepreneur Hiram Hutchinso to found Aigle.
