About Us
Working Together to Better Nourish and Protect the Planet
Lesaffre has thrived for over 170 years by blending its rich history with forward-thinking innovation.
Our success is rooted in the vision of our founders, passed down through generations, and enriched by the talented teams we’ve built, the partnerships we’ve formed, and the markets we’ve expanded into.
As we honor our past, we remain focused on shaping the future with the same high standards and commitment to innovation.
Our company was built around the friendship between Louis Lesaffre and Louis Bonduelle in 1853.
From that site grew Société Industrielle Lesaffre, which gradually proved to be the driving force behind the Group’s industrial and commercial boom in yeast.
