Michael Braun (industrialist)
About
Johann Michael Braun, (August 5, 1866 – July 21, 1954) was a German industrialist and pioneer of the undergarment industry. Together with corsetmaker Johann Gottfried Spiesshofer he established the corsetry manufacturer “Spiesshofer & Braun” in Heubach (Württemberg) in 1886. From 1902 onwards the company traded under the name “Triumph” as this was considered a more memorable brand name. Having started off with six sewing machines and six employees in a barn, the company had annual sales of 1.7 billion Euros in 2009, and 37’515 employees. Still family owned, by now the multinational manufacturing and marketing organization operates in 120 countries around the globe. It is one of the leading underwear companies in the world and sells its product primarily under the core brands Triumph®, sloggi®, Valisère® and HOM®.
