Savencia Fromage & Dairy, previously identified as Bongrain until 2015, is a French enterprise focused on cheese manufacturing. Its portfolio features brands such as Saint Agur Blue, Saint Albray, Etorki, Alouette, and Pié d'Angloys. The company operates as a privately held family-owned group under the Bongrain family, managed through the Savencia Saveurs & Spécialités Group, which also oversees Bordeau Chesnel and De Neuville.
In terms of revenue, Savencia was ranked the eighteenth largest dairy processor worldwide in 2017 and held the position of the fourth largest within France, trailing behind Danone (second globally), Lactalis (third), and Sodiaal (sixteenth).
Controversies
Following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Groupe Savencia attracted criticism for its decision to continue business activities in Russia. While numerous international corporations withdrew from the Russian market in response to geopolitical pressures, Savencia retained its operations there, drawing scrutiny from advocacy groups such as Leave Russia. This approach diverges from that of other global dairy companies that ceased their Russian engagements amid the conflict.
