Pauline Daure, R&D Manager

“Arrived in 2010 as Project Manager, I was able to evolve within our R&D department at the Castelsarrasin site. I remember being impressed when I arrived by the know how of the pastry chefs who carried out many of the manufacturing steps by hand.”

Hélène Boutal, Continuous Improvement Manager

“Developing products is important, improving their production is just as important! We work daily on areas for improvement. Our goal is to have productions that are as stable as possible and to always seek to improve them.”
