La Crepe de Broceliande

What La Crepe de Broceliande does

La Crepe de Broceliande is a French food processing PME founded in 1982 in Boisgervilly, Brittany, that manufactures and commercializes fresh crepes and galettes (buckwheat wheat-black savory pancakes). The company operates a single production site in Boisgervilly producing roughly 100 million crepes and galettes per year with a workforce of approximately 160 collaborators. Its product portfolio is split across two brands: the main La Crepe de Broceliande label for conventional crepes and galettes sold in French GMS, and the La Crepiere sub-brand for EU-organic-certified products distributed through specialized bio retail. The offering covers three ranges - plain Galettes de Ble Noir (buckwheat), Crepes de Froment (wheat), and pre-garnished Crepes et Galettes Garnies ready to reheat in a pan or microwave.

The business model is B2B2C, with products sold through five major French retail chains (Leclerc, Intermarche, U, Carrefour, Auchan), specialized organic stores, and a food-service channel (Restauration Hors Domicile) serving restaurants and caterers. Revenue is generated via transaction-fee wholesale of physical goods; pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with negotiated retailer contracts. The company is privately held under sole ownership of Roparz Tilly, who acquired it in 2004, and has no institutional investors or subsidiaries. Quality and food-safety positioning rests on IFS Level Superior certification (2015), complete traceability from raw material to finished product, and a localized supply chain with 100% of suppliers in France and 50% in Brittany, including main raw materials sourced within 45km of the plant. Additional certifications include EU BIO (since 1997), Nutri-Score labeling on prepared products (since 2020), and FSC packaging for selected SKUs. Reported annual revenue was EUR 27 million in FY2021.

Direct peers

• Bridor: Bridor (part of Le Duff group) is a leading French manufacturer of viennoiseries and Breton-style crêpes and galettes supplied to retail and foodservice. Directly comparable to La Crêpe de Brocéliande in product mix, Breton heritage, and B2B2C distribution model.
• Tipiak: Tipiak is a French prepared-food company specializing in frozen crêpes, galettes, and other Breton specialties distributed through retail and foodservice. Closely comparable on product category, Breton positioning, and multi-channel French distribution.
• Boncolac: Boncolac is a French pastry and frozen crêpe/galette manufacturer serving retail and foodservice. Comparable to La Crêpe de Brocéliande in product format (frozen crepes and garnished specialties) and in serving the same French retail and HoReCa channels.

Broad incumbents

• Fleury Michon: Fleury Michon is a major French prepared-foods company producing chilled ready meals, charcuterie, and crêpes for mass retail. Comparable as a chilled convenience-foods manufacturer targeting the same French supermarket aisles but at significantly larger scale and breadth.
• Herta (Nestlé): Herta, a Nestlé-owned brand, manufactures a broad range of prepared meat and convenience foods in France including crêpes. Overlaps with La Crêpe de Brocéliande in the fresh/prepared crêpe category but operates as a much larger, multi-category incumbent.
• Findus France: Findus is a European frozen-food company with French retail presence in prepared meals and crêpes. Comparable in product category (frozen crepes) and French mass-market distribution, but operates as a broad multi-category incumbent rather than a Breton-specialist.

Others

• Picard Surgelés: Picard Surgelés is France's leading frozen-food retailer with a strong assortment of crêpes and galettes. Comparable product category and French premium positioning, though operating as a retailer/distributor rather than a manufacturer; represents both a channel alternative and a substitute threat to La Crêpe de Brocéliande.

Regional players

• Charal: Charal is a major French prepared-meat brand, including stuffed and ready-to-reheat ranges served in French retail. Comparable in the garnished, ready-to-heat convenience segment that overlaps with La Crêpe de Brocéliande's stuffed galette line, though Charal is meat-led rather than Breton-crepe-led.
