THE ORIGIN OF THE LOGO
During a trip to Poland in 1900, André Citroën discovered the process, new at the time, of metal gears. One of the systems uses rafters. An engineer and polytechnician, the future founder of Citroën bought the license and adapted it for his French factories. He then chose to make the double chevron the emblem of his first company.
