Henri Pigozzi, born Enrico Teodoro Pigozzi in Turin in 1898, was a car dealer and automotive industrialist best known as the founder of the French carmaker Simca. At fourteen he took over a small family transport business after his father disappeared, and in the 1920s he built a business supplying scrap steel from France to the Piedmont mills, which brought him to the notice of Fiat owner Giovanni Agnelli. Fiat made him its general representative in France in 1926, and he set up SAFAF at Suresnes to import and assemble Fiat cars. In 1934 he bought the former Donnet-Zédel premises at Nanterre and established Simca, which he ran as Director General from 1935 to 1954 and as President-Director General from 1954 to 1963. He was obliged to resign in May 1963 when Chrysler took control, and he died in Neuilly-sur-Seine in November 1964.
