MINOTERIE DU TRIEVES - CORREARD ET FILS

What MINOTERIE DU TRIEVES - CORREARD ET FILS does

Minoterie du Trièves (SARL, Corrêard & Fils) is a fourth-generation family flour mill founded in 1906 and headquartered in Clelles-en-Trièves, French Alps. The company operates a single production site with a new mill commissioned in June 2021 capable of processing 150 tonnes per day (up from 80 tonnes/day), supported by a 200-tonne storage facility, an on-site wheat/flour analysis laboratory, and a trial bakery (fournil). It produces over 100 flour SKUs organized across traditional (T45 through T80), Label Rouge, organic (Ecocert), Origine (HVE ultra-local), Gustive (multi-mill co-brand), specialty bread, gourmet, and gluten-free product lines.

The company serves approximately 600 artisan bakeries across the quarter southeast of France (departments 04, 05, 06, 07, 13, 26, 30, 34, 38, 69, 73, 83, 84, Drôme, Ardèche), with sales executed through seven commercial representatives covering named zones and delivered via a proprietary fleet of seven trucks carrying both bagged and bulk products. A secondary direct-to-consumer channel operates via walk-in sales at the Clelles mill Monday to Friday. The service layer extends beyond flour supply to include MOF-led professional training (10 annual sessions), bakery installation and transmission consulting, and custom packaging/point-of-sale merchandising.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time unit-priced flour sales (5/10/25 kg bags for professionals; 5/10/25 kg plus 3 kg preparations for individuals), with no publicly disclosed pricing. Wheat is sourced under 3-year guaranteed contracts from HVE-certified farms in Isère, Drôme, and Hautes-Alpes, and the company maintains six distinct certifications including Label Rouge LA 11/04 (CERTIPAQ, 2017), Agriculture Biologique (Ecocert, 2015), GMP+ (2021), ISHERE (2018), HVE, and Produit de Montagne. The business is privately held by the Corrêard family under SARL structure with no external investors.
