Alfred Clouët, a French adventurer of taste

Alfred Clouët, French explorer of taste from Le Havre, puts aside the father's business of tailor to set off to conquer new flavors in Asia, in Singapore.

 

1892

 

Birth of A. Clouët company

Very quickly in 1892, he registered his own import-export company firm, A. Clouet & Co. He began by importing Menier chocolate, Bordeaux wines and even perfume in Asia.

1899

 

The first canned food

A. Clouët decides to explore another product that was considered premium at the time: canned foods. Being imported goods, they were generally out of the reach of ordinary people. However, Clouet was determined to bring them to the masses. He was one of the pioneers in the marketing of canned products in South-East Asia (canning is an avant-garde technology for the time, which consists of canning food in order to obtain a longer and better conservation thereof).

In 1899, he began to market canned sardines. Clouet widened his range to include other canned foods such as mushrooms and peas, but the sardines proved particularly popular.

 

A. Clouët becomes Ayam Brand™

The brand quickly became known and Alfred Clouët canned goods were quickly designated by the rooster represented on the brand's logo. Regular customers started referring to the brand as "chop ayam" which means "the chicken brand" in the Malay language.

The management then decided to change the company's official name to Ayam Brand™.
