Henokiens

The Henokiens Association () is an international association of family-owned companies that have existed for two hundred years or more, with at least one family member still involved in management..

Its name is derived from the biblical patriarch Enoch (Hénoch in French), who lived for 365 years before he was taken by God instead of dying.

History and operations Founded in 1981 by the then-chairman of Marie Brizard, the association started with four members from France, and it now has fifty-six members from Europe and Japan. Its stated objective and raison d'être is to promote long-term decision making, notably through its Da Vinci Prize.

The association's oldest member is the Japanese Hōshi ryokan (founded in 717), and the most-recent members are the Austrian firm Lobmeyr (founded in 1823), the Portuguese firm Pinto Basto (founded in 1788), the French firm Tarrerias Bonjean (founded in 1585), the Italian firm Acetaia Giusti (founded in 1685), the French firm Denantes (founded in 1723), the Italian firm Colussi S.p.A. (founded in 1791), the Italian firm Leone de Castris (founded in 1665).

Members The association includes fifty-seven members. Marie Brizard, having been bought by an investment fund in 2000, is no longer a member.
