Quaterra | Ex Bio Conquête

What Quaterra | Ex Bio Conquête does

Quaterra (formerly Bio Conquête) is a French holding company founded in 2018 by Nicolas Mosser that acquires and develops small and medium-sized food processing companies and agricultural farms across France. The group operates a portfolio of nine subsidiary brands split across two categories: five food processing factories (Ducs de Gascogne, Confit de Provence, La Conserverie au Bec Fin, Les 4 Saisons, and Groupe Savor Créations/Savor & Sens) and three agricultural farms (Les Jardins Bio du Médoc, Apiculteurs des Alpilles, and a free-range organic egg farm in Baud). Since 2023, the group has held "Entreprise à Mission" legal status, embedding social and environmental commitments into its corporate statutes. The company divested Maison Le Goff (Breton biscuits) in 2022 and has stated a €100 million revenue target by 2025.

The portfolio spans organic jams and preserves (Confit de Provence — 80% Bio-certified; Les 4 Saisons — traditional copper-kettle methods, member of Produit en Bretagne since 2001), gourmet gift baskets and Gascon gastronomy (Ducs de Gascogne), Provençal conserves and seafood from a 1,400 m² Cogolin laboratory (La Conserverie au Bec Fin), and fine grocery products distributed to 44+ countries from a 4,000 m² Signes facility (Savor & Sens, featuring a Christian Lacroix collaboration and 100+ organic SKUs). Agricultural operations include a 29-hectare organic blueberry plantation with ~100,000 plants and Global GAP certification (Les Jardins Bio du Médoc), an apiary with 1,500 hives producing ~30 tonnes of IGP Provence-certified honey annually (Apiculteurs des Alpilles), and a 12,000-hen free-range organic egg farm developed in partnership with young farmer Pauline Cadoret.

Quaterra's business model is a buy-and-develop SME aggregator play: it acquires heritage food brands facing succession or capital constraints, retains local brand identity and operational autonomy, and layers in holding-level shared services (HubSpot CRM centralized at Ducs de Gascogne, group purchasing power, digital transformation, shared marketing). Revenue is generated through multiple channels: direct-to-consumer e-commerce (Savor Création, Ducs de Gascogne, Au Bec Fin websites) and factory boutiques; French generalist and specialty retail distribution (2,500+ points of sale via Savor & Sens); B2B professional sales to restaurants, caterers, works councils, and corporate gifting; and international export. The company sells to consumers seeking premium, organic, and local food; to B2B buyers consolidating regional food suppliers; and acquires from farmers and food SME owners seeking succession or growth capital. No public pricing structure exists; pricing is unit-based for retail and quote-based for B2B. Legal entity is SAS BIO CONQUETE, headquartered at 30 Rue Notre Dame des Victoires, Paris (75002), with €544,315.86 share capital and undisclosed institutional ownership beyond press-reported backing from the Webhelp founder.
