Jean-François Cail (8 February 1804 – 22 May 1871) was a French entrepreneur and industrialist who was a key figure in French industrialization. He started his career in 1824 as a factory worker making machinery for the sugar industry. The firm expanded and was renamed Derosne-Cail in 1832. It manufactured a variety of industrial machines. In 1848 Mr. Cail licensed the patents of Thomas Russell Crampton and began manufacturing Crampton locomotives as well. Having become a wealthy man, Mr. Cail built a luxurious townhouse[1] in Paris that is used today by the city government. A street in Paris is also named after him, Rue Cail.
