Just after WW2, André Glon Senior, a Breton miller, sowed the seeds of what was to become one of the major players in the French food business. With the constant support of his wife Louise, this pragmatic and visionary man started the production of animal feed in 1947.

 

Soon after, the mill ran at full capacity. After years of conflict, France was hungry. Farmers were working double shifts to develop both vegetal and animal productions. Some Bretons seized that opportunity to get their region out of poverty.

 

To achieve this goal, they invested heavily, just as Noël, Alain and André Glon did when they took over their father’s company in the 60’s. With the independent spirit and tenacity they inherited from their parents, they worked hard to socially and economically develop their rural world.

On the basis of their core business, animal nutrition, they developed step by step several activities all the way down to the elaborated food products.

 

Fortunatly, a whole generation of entrepreneurs –farmers, craftsmen and manufacturers- helped them face that challenge, and still do as of today to bring them the best products.
