A committed European, he had been crossing the Rhine since 1959 to trade French cheeses in Germany. From this date onwards, Fromi became an indispensable partner to traditional and artisan French cheese dairies. 1970 Xavier David launches his first creations specially adapted to the German market, such as Jurassic, a pressed cheese from Jura whose weight of 10 kg was well received by German delicatessens. 1978 With support from its historic partners, Fromi presents to the IKOFA exhibition in Munich a range of French cheeses made from raw milk: Roquefort PAPILLON, Isigny Sainte-mère Camembert produced using raw milk. At the time, this was truly revolutionary in Germany! 1985 Launch of a range created by specialist cheese dairies under the name “D’Argental”. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OUR RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS SOCIETY AND ENVIRONMENT In 2016 we transferred our Kehl headquarters to a building which meets the latest ecological standards. This enabled us to reduce our carbon footprint since we harness solar energy (20% or our electricity consumption) and geothermal energy. We are deeply concerned about the well-being of our employees. This allows us to further improve the life quality and performance of our workforce in our enterprise. SOLIDARITY OUR COOPERATION WITH WELTHUNGERHILFE Since 2009 Fromi has been engaged in the fight against poverty and hunger in the world, with the help of the German NGO Welthungerhilfe, known for their efficient aid projects. For each kilo of sold ‘Xavier David’ cheese Welthungerhilfe receives 0,25€ earmarked for agricultural projects. Fromi and its employees encourage and support humanitarian work and educational initiatives.
