Throughout this entire process, as well as in the day-to-day life of the company, the support from FrenchFood Capital has proven to be relevant. The team managed to strike the right balance between high standards and respect for our culture, intervening both on operational issues and more strategic questions. FrenchFood Capital’s strong positioning in the agri-food sector fostered a deep understanding of our challenges and enabled high-quality dialogue. This work was carried out in a spirit of co-construction, at our own pace, with a shared ambition: to structure without distorting, to support without disrupting.
