The heritage of Robert Juliat is one of which we are very proud. Founded in 1919 by
my grandfather, Robert, our company is the oldest manufacturer of theatre lighting
equipment still in existence. Continuing in the tradition of my great-grandfather, Jean
Juliat, who worked as technical assistant to George Melies, creator of the first visual
effects in movie history, we have always made it our policy to innovate rather than re-
create with our designs. Past Robert Juliat innovations, such as the first HMI follow
pots, have since been adopted by other manufacturers.
Robert Juliat lighting instruments are now available in Southern California through
Forman & Associates.
