Even has sold Le Saloir du Périgord au Groupe Jean Floc’h
Marseille (France), September 1, 2025
EVEN, a French agri-food cooperative group, has sold its subsidiary Le Saloir du Périgord to Groupe Jean Floc’h, a leading independent player in pork meat processing.
Founded in 1987, Le Saloir du Périgord is a long-standing player in the dry-cured meat industry, processing over 5,000 pieces of cured ham and related products (saucisson, coppa, lomo) each week for retail, foodservice, industrial clients, and wholesalers.
A founding member of the “Le Porc du Périgord” sector initiative, the company stands out for its commitment to sustainable practices, offering high-quality products while supporting responsible farming and the preservation of natural resources.
Operating across two sites in Saint-Barthélemy-de-Bussière (Dordogne) and Pézenas (Hérault), the company employs around 60 people and generates revenues of approximately €18 million.
This acquisition is aligned with Groupe Jean Floc’h’s growth strategy — a group generating over €1 billion in revenue — and aims to strengthen its presence in the premium cured meats segment. The deal will allow the group to consolidate its position in the charcuterie market by leveraging Le Saloir du Périgord’s brand recognition and artisanal expertise.
At the same time, Le Saloir du Périgord will benefit from being part of a leading French pork industry player, while maintaining its distinct identity and artisanal know-how.
Alexandre Forget, Managing Partner at Financière de Courcelles, commented:
“This transaction addresses two key objectives for EVEN: continuing the implementation of its strategic refocus, and ensuring the long-term future of Le Saloir du Périgord by aligning it with a group of sufficient scale to meet the sector’s challenges. Our deep industry knowledge and spin-off expertise enabled us to successfully support this operation.”
