History
Les Grands Moulins de Paris was founded by the Vilgrain family in 1919. Délifrance was launched in 1983 with a focus on pastries, viennoiserie, and savory products.
In 1997, Sembawang Corporation Limited acquired a majority stake in Délifrance Asia Ltd. Subsequently, in 1999, Prudential Asset Management Asia Limited (PAMA) Group Inc. assumed full control and took the company private.
December 2007 saw Singapore-listed Auric Pacific Group Limited acquire Délifrance Asia Ltd from PAMA; Auric Pacific itself was privatized in 2017.
From 1995 to 2010, Jollibee Foods Corporation managed Délifrance operations in the Philippines before rebranding the outlets as CaféFrance and eventually selling to Euro-Med Laboratories Philippines, Inc.
Délifrance’s franchise presence in Malaysia lasted until 2015, with all locations closing by 2016 without an official announcement. The brand made a return to Malaysia in 2020 by opening a new store at Publika Shopping Gallery in Kuala Lumpur.
