history

From the foundation to the brand

Generations of the Bonduelle family

Louis Bonduelle-Dalle (1803–1880) and Louis Lesaffre-Roussel (1802–1869), two members of the Bonduelle family, founded a grain and juniper distillery in Marquette-lez-Lille in 1853 . By the end of the 19th century , the company had seven distilleries. In 1901 it was divided among three groups of heirs. An inheritance branch continued the agricultural and distillery business in Renescure . Pierre Bonduelle (1902–1988) and Benoît Bonduelle (1904–1986) belonged to the fourth generation of entrepreneurs and expanded their business activities in the 1920s. They started planting peas on an area of ​​around 20 hectares and filled them in cans for the first time in 1926.

In 1936 the area under cultivation was significantly enlarged, it comprised 230 hectares. The marketing did not take place under its own name, but was delegated to the Société la Rochefortaise , which also supported the expansion of the preservation facilities. The invasion of the German Wehrmacht in the early summer of 1940 brought production to a standstill. In June 1944, allied bombs destroyed parts of the company premises . In the course of rebuilding and resuming business, Bonduelle decided to sell its canned goods under its own name . The Bonduelle brand was created in 1947. The associated fame led to a rapidly increasing demand . Bonduelle responded by creating a network of farmers who delivered their goods .

Growth in the post-war decades

At the beginning of the 1950s, the brothers Pierre and Benoît Bonduelle headed a company that had around 70 permanent employees and cultivated around 300 hectares of land. At the regional level, some production facilities were acquired. In 1957, Bonduelle developed a mix of peas and carrots , which was successfully marketed and contributed significantly to Bonduelle's national reputation. The company's turnover in 1953 amounted to 545 million F , which corresponded to about 9.2 million euros ; In 1961 sales amounted to 16.223 million F (about 20 million euros).

In 1963, construction began on a production facility in Estrées-en-Chaussée . The gradual expansion made it one of the world's largest locations for vegetable processing. The company expanded the cultivation areas, for example for peas, over Picardy in the 1960s and also used areas in other French regions , including in Nord-Pas-de-Calais , in Brittany , in Pays de la Loire , the Île -de-France , in Center-Val de Loire and in Aquitaine .

In 1968 the company added frozen vegetables to its portfolio .

International expansion

In 1969 Bonduelle opened its first foreign subsidiary in Homburg, Saarland . This was followed by those in Italy (1972) and Great Britain (1973). In 1973, sales achieved abroad exceeded 50 percent of total sales . Corn processing began in the second half of the 1970s . The production of canned mushrooms followed from the late 1970s and early 1980s .

In 1980, Bonduelle was the second largest supplier of canned vegetables in France after Cassegrain , and the company was the market leader in Germany and the Netherlands . By the end of the 1980s, the company also achieved this position in Belgium , including through the purchase of Marie Thumas and Talpe . In 1989, Bonduelle took over its French competitor Cassegrain and thus also achieved market leadership in his home country. In 1986 the company entered the Spanish market by founding a subsidiary and buying a frozen food factory in Milagro ( Navarra ). Two years later, Bonduelle was also present in Portugal after acquiring a frozen food factory in Santarém . In 1989 a subsidiary was founded in Denmark .

After the political upheaval, Bonduelle succeeded in the markets in Central and Eastern Europe in the 1990s . This applied to Germany's new federal states (1990), the Czech Republic , Poland and Hungary (1991 and 1992, respectively) as well as Russia and Slovenia (both 1994).

In 1994, Brazil was the first country in South America in which Bonduelle founded a subsidiary. Argentina followed two years later . In 1997 the French company formed a joint venture with its Chilean partner Iansa .

At the beginning of 1997, Bonduelle took over 90 percent of the shares in the French supplier Salade Minute . In this way, Bonduelle added a third line of canned and frozen vegetables: fresh, ready-to-eat salads, including raw vegetables and complete salad preparations ( salades traiteurs ). From 1998 the company offered its corresponding products to the general public under the brands Bonduelle Frais (France) and Bonduelle Freshness (Germany). In 2000, Bonduelle took over fresh salad supplier Ciele e Campo , number two in the Italian market; Bonduelle had worked with this company since 1998.

Organized as a partnership limited by shares under French law since 1995 , Bonduelle went public on the Paris Stock Exchange in June 1998 to finance its growth path. By autumn 1999 17 percent of all shares had been placed, the majority of the shares remained with the founding family.

Business development since 2000

In 2001, Bonduelle acquired Frudesa , a Spanish frozen vegetable brand, from Unilever . In the same year, Bonduelle took over Ortobell , the Italian market leader for fresh salads, and merged this company with Cielo e Campo .

In 2002, construction began on a plant in Straelen on the Lower Rhine , which has since experienced several stages of expansion. In 2002 Bonduelle also strengthened its mushroom business. It was bought by the Polish company Inter Champ . At the same time, Bonduelle secured the purchase option for key production lines from its parent company France Champignon , the European market leader. Bonduelle exercised this takeover option in April 2010. In 2003, Bonduelle acquired Michel Caugant , a French specialist in delicatessen salads. In the same year, Bonduelle took over Vita and became the market leader for fresh ready-made salads in Germany. In 2007, the German subsidiary moved its headquarters from Homburg to Reutlingen and from then on used the premises of the former Vita headquarters there.

In 2004, Bonduelle opened a canning factory in Novotitarovskaya in southern Russia . In the following year, Bonduelle stopped selling its frozen products in German food retailing , and these products continued to be delivered to bulk consumers. In 2006 Unilever in Spain sold its Salto business for frozen rice and vegetable -based dishes to Bonduelle. At the same time, in 2006 Bonduelle initially acquired around a quarter of the shares in Aliments Carrière , then the Canadian market leader for canned and frozen vegetables. It was fully taken over in 2007. The French company strengthened its position in the North American market in 2009 with the acquisition of Family Tradition (Canada) and the vegetable division of Omstead (Canada). Following on from this, in 2012 the acquisition of compatible business areas, marketing rights and brands from Allens , a supplier specializing in frozen vegetables in the USA, succeeded .

In Europe, Bonduelle took over the Belgian canning company La Corbeille in 2008 . On January 1, 2009, Bonduelle also acquired Gelagri . With both measures, the company strengthened its position as a producer of private labels . In Spain, the stores were reorganized in 2011: The Frudesa and Salto brands went to Findus . At the same time, Bonduelle founded a joint venture with the Belgian frozen food specialist Ardo , which was supposed to supply the Iberian market with frozen vegetables. In 2016, Ardo took over all shares in this joint venture. In 2011, Bonduelle opened the largest European plant for fresh salads in San Paolo d'Argon, northern Italy , after a fire had destroyed this location three years earlier . In 2012, Bonduelle took over the Hungarian producer of canned vegetables Kelet-Food and had a third location in Nyíregyháza , after Nagykőrös (since 1992) and Békéscsaba (since 2002). Also in 2012, Bonduelle reached an agreement with the Centrale Cooperative Agricole Bretonne (CECAB) to purchase the Russian business of this cooperative group .

The 2014/2015 financial year was the best so far in the company's history. Sales amounted to EUR 1.981 billion, and net profit was EUR 69.2 million. On February 23, 2017, Bonduelle announced an agreement to acquire Ready Pac Foods , the US market leader in fresh cut salad bowls. It was the largest acquisition in the company's history.

criticism

Price fixing

In 2014 the group was sentenced by the European Commission to a fine of around 30 million euros for illegal price fixing . Together with its competitors Lutèce and Prochamp , Bonduelle agreed between 2010 and 2012 on minimum prices and tenders for mushroom products. The entire European market was probably affected, as the own brands of supermarket chains were also supplied by the three manufacturers. While Lutèce was spared a fine because the company reported the cartel itself, Prochamp was sentenced to a reduced fine of around 2 million euros for working well with the authorities. With the formation of the cartel, the corporations intended to prevent prices from falling.

Others

Technical developments

Together with Tetra Pak, Bonduelle developed the Tetra Recart packaging system , also called Trendbox by Bonduelle . Bonduelle offered various vegetable products in this form of packaging from 2003, in Germany until 2008.

After several years of development, Bonduelle Vapeur was launched in some countries in 2009 . Canned vegetables are preserved using a special steaming process that protects nutrients and vitamins .

Ardagh and Bonduelle launched a new tin can in 2013. It required 15 percent less material than previous can formats and does not require flanging .

advertising

In 1985, Bonduelle introduced the popular French slogan Quand c'est bon, c'est Bonduelle . Ten years earlier, Bonduelle was advertising in Germany with the slogan Bonduelle is the famous canned tender vegetables developed by Robert Pütz , an advertising agency that has been working for Bonduelle in Germany for many years . Tomi Ungerer illustrated this verse .

Since the beginning of 2016, Bonduelle Germany has been using the claim “Vegetables deliciously made easy” and has a market share of almost 18 percent (canned vegetables) and 14 percent (fresh salads) and a supported brand awareness of 94 percent.

Commitment and awards

In 2004 the Louis Bonduelle Foundation was established. The reason for this was, according to its own statements, the desire of the Bonduelle Group to contribute to the promotion of public health in the field of nutrition , especially in those countries in which Bonduelle is active.

Bonduelle has received several awards. For example, in 1987 the company received the Prix ​​de la communication from the French Ministry of Foreign Trade. In 2002, Christian Poncelet , President of the French Senate , awarded Christophe Bonduelle the Prix ​​génération Éponymes for the work of the Bonduelle family business.

The Conseil supérieur de l'Ordre des experts-comptables (Supreme Council of the Association of Tax Advisors) honored Bonduelle in 2016 for its activities in the area of corporate social responsibility .
