Our history
ABOUT OUR PATHWAYLooking back at the major steps that built Savéol.

A handful of visionary leaders from Coopératives de la Presqu’île and the Brest Market Gardening Consortium created Savéol - “sunrise” in Breton. What was their aspiration? To concentrate the offer and take the valuation of their products all the way.
1980
