Fromy, Rogée & Co (French: Fromy, Rogée et Cie) was a cognac manufacturer based in Saint-Jean-d'Angély, Charente-Maritime department in southwestern France.

History[]

The company was founded in 1815 by François Fromy. His son Frédéric and then his son Eugène Rogée succeeded him. His grand son Eugène Rogée-Fromy constructed the headquarters around 1880. The company received a number of rewards for its products, such as the Grand Prix in Hanoi 1902, in St. Louis 1904, Milan 1909, Seattle 1909, Quito 1906, Charleroi 1911 and Casablanca 1915.[citation needed] It was also member of the jury in Paris 1900, Liege 1905, Bordeaux 1907, London 1908, Brussels 1910, Turin 1911, Gand 1913 and Strasbourg 1919.[1] It received an imperial and royal warrant of appointment to the Austro-Hungarian court.

The company ceased production a little before the outbreak of World War II. The headquarter buildings were placed under heritage protection.[2][3]
