OUR STORY

Home OUR STORY
EUROPE SNACKS, THE STORY OF A COMPANY WITH A HUMAN TOUCH THAT BELIEVES IN ITS DESTINY

It is the story of Roland Marie, the company’s founder. In 1990, this former Research and Development Director who had worked for Biscuiterie Nantaise BN, creates Atlantic Snacks and produces savoury snacks. Legend has it that the business started in garage, in Saint-Denis-La-Chevasse.

In the space of two decades the company’s turnover increased hundredfold and more than 350 jobs were created. A success story due to the various men that shaped it and the investment funds that support its business.

The company has changed from being a family business to an international group.
