Originating from an agricultural background, since 1853 the Lesaffre family has built up a range of production activities aimed at the food industry. Over the generations, the company has gradually emerged as a major group specialized in the field of biotechnology.

Ever keen to preserve its financial independence and profitability, Lesaffre aims to provide its customers with top quality products at best manufacturing costs, while at the same time respecting both human and environmental values.

Lesaffre is today the world leader in the production of yeast and yeast extracts.
