BIOFOURNIL is industrializing...

…but keeps its soul. In ten years, the Puiset Doré site (49) has tripled its production area. The company produces 100% organic breads with traditional sourdough and sources only French wheat and rye. For 40 years, the company has used the same sourdough starter strain.

"We still make our bread using an artisanal process, but with an industrial organization. We have robotized everything that doesn't add value but kept the touch of our 40 bakers," explains Marc BARRE, CEO of Biofournil.

The burger has conquered 85% of restaurants with table service, so in 2017, 70% of burgers sold were table service. (Gira Conseil study / Les Echos)
