Biscuiterie Filet Bleu

In 1919, Henri Friant, a former sailor, and his wife Marie founded a biscuit factory in Pont L’Abbé in Brittany. In order to pay tribute to Breton sailors and the blue fishing nets, the company adopted the name « Biscuiterie du Filet Bleu ». In 1996 the biscuit factory was taken over and moved into entirely new premises near Quimper. Jean-François Garrec, a local entrepreneur, breathed new life to the company. A partnership was built with the « Groupement des Mousquetaires » group thereby starting a large industrial and commercial venture.Continuous investment in Filet Bleu has meant that it is now one of the most modern biscuit factories in Europe and the brand « Filet Bleu » is known worldwide.
