A Family Story
The Andros family journey began in 1910 in Biars-sur-Cère, with a small business trading walnuts and fruit. A defining milestone came in 1959, when Jean Gervoson and Pierre Chapoulart founded Andros. Today, more than a century after its beginnings, the story continues under the leadership of the fourth generation of the family.
Since its earliest days, Andros has been driven by the commitment, expertise and passion of its people. Every day, the Group works to create food that brings together pleasure, natural goodness and responsibility, meeting the evolving expectations of consumers around the world.
The history of Andros has been shaped by continuous innovation and the development of iconic brands.
In 1971, the creation of Bonne Maman marked a major milestone, introducing its now-famous jams celebrated for their authentic, homemade taste. This spirit of innovation continued with the launch of chilled fruit desserts in 1987, followed by fresh fruit juices in 1992. That same year, Andros further expanded its expertise through Novandie and the addition of Mamie Nova, renowned for its dairy desserts. In 2018, the Group continued to respond to changing consumer preferences with the launch of Andros Gourmand & Végétal, expanding its expertise into plant-based products. This was followed in 2021 by the introduction of gourmet spreads, establishing a new strategic pillar that combines pleasure, natural ingredients and innovation while offering increasingly creative and enjoyable ways to share food. More recently, Andros Sport, launched in 2023, further broadened the Group’s portfolio with products designed to meet the needs of active consumers. Through this ongoing evolution, Andros continues to combine its family heritage, industrial expertise and culture of innovation with a strong understanding of local markets and changing consumer needs.
