Eureden

What Eureden does

Eureden is a French agricultural cooperative group headquartered in Mellac, Brittany, formed from the 2019-2021 merger of Groupe d'aucy and Triskalia (with Cecab). It brings together 16,000 farmer-cooperators and 8,000 employees across six operational branches: Agriculture (advisory and farm inputs), Œuf (egg supply chain), Viande (charcuterie led by Aubret, France's #1 lardon producer, plus André Bazin's Philippe Wagner), Légumes & Cuisinés (canned, frozen and prepared vegetables under d'aucy, Paysan Breton, Globus), Distribution (Magasin Vert, Point Vert, Cultivert, Le Récolteur retail stores), and Capinov/PEP (egg products and laboratory). It generated €3.7B in consolidated revenue and operates approximately 40 production sites and 150 retail stores serving 650,000 loyal customers.

The group operates an integrated farm-to-fork value chain: farmer-members produce crops, livestock and eggs that are processed in Eureden-owned facilities and commercialized through a multi-channel go-to-market covering French retail chains (GMS), foodservice (RHD), private label and B2B manufacturing (Tha\u00ef Union, Dietbon, Comme J'aime, French Army), and international markets including Spain, Hungary, Germany, the UK and Belgium. Geographic expansion has accelerated through the 2026 Greenyard joint venture in frozen vegetables, the 2025 André Bazin/Arcado charcuterie partnership, the Griffiths UK ovoproducts JV, and the earlier Ovofit acquisition in Germany.

Commercially, Eureden monetizes through one-time product sales (branded and private label), cooperative patronage through its farmer-member base, and retail transactions. Financing is supported by large syndicated RSE-indexed credit facilities (€547M in 2020, refinanced with a €520M facility in 2023). Governance rests on a cooperative Board elected by delegates, with Dany Rochefort as President and Alain Perrin as Director General (Marie-Gabrielle Daniel designated to succeed him by early 2026). Technical capabilities center on agronomic decision-support tools (CHN satellite-based nitrogen management with Arvalis/Airbus; ARA weeding tool with Blavet terres & eaux) and circular-economy processes such as eggshell valorization at Ploërmel.

Product overview

Eureden is a Breton agricultural cooperative group formed from the merger of Groups d'aucy and Triskalia, operating a multi-specialist cooperative model with six distinct business branches. The group's product portfolio centers on branded food and agricultural products: d'aucy (canned and frozen vegetables), Paysan Breton (frozen vegetables and eggs), Globus (Central European vegetable products), Ovofit (German egg products), Cocotine (egg products), Aubret (charcuterie, France's #1 lardon), Philippe Wagner (premium charcuterie from André Bazin), and Jean Nicolas.

Products are distributed through major retailers (GMS), food service (RHD), specialized circuits, and international markets.

• Cooperl: French pork-focused farmer cooperative spanning genetics through charcuterie and prepared meals under brands like Brocéliande; comparable in cooperative governance and downstream meat/charcuterie integration relevant to Eureden's Aubret/André Bazin branches.
