A major player in the Rungis market, today we are one of the French leaders in the market for suppliers of sheep and bovine meat. And always ready to evolve to meet new challenges! 1964 Originally created at the La Villette market, Ovimpex's primary vocation is to trade in sheep carcasses. 1969 OVIMPEX sets up on the Rungis market. 1978 The LOUIS DREYFUS group acquires Ovimpex which becomes OVIMPEX-MASSICARD. The group then became number 1 in lamb in France and one of the largest importers of sheep and bovine meat. 1983 OVIMPEX MASSICARD starts cutting sheep meat for distribution. 1987 The DHUMEAUX company joins the group. It has several bays on the MIN of RUNGIS and will then focus on the trade of all food products. 1992 MVS (Mondial Viande Service) is joining the group at DOUAI and is stepping up its orientation towards distribution (METRO, Auchan, Carrefour). 2001 The senior executives of Ovimpex buy the company from the LOUIS DREYFUS group. OVIMPEX-MASSICARD thus becomes SAS OVIMPEX. 2007 To strengthen its presence throughout France, OVIMPEX opens a secondary establishment in the Lyon region and creates OVIMPEX DISTRIBUTION. 2008 OVIMPEX continues its development with the creation of PRESTIMPEX which aims to transform meat for other operators. 2010 OVIMPEX DISTRIBUTION is moving to settle on a larger site in Grillon in the Vaucluse. A secondary sales position is also created in Corbas on the wholesale market in the Lyon region. This reorganization is the opportunity to integrate the company Alpes Provence Agneau (APA) located in Sisteron and specializing in the French lamb trade. 2011 OVIMPEX creates VIANOV to take over the wholesale activity at the meat pavilion at the Rungis MIN. 2016 ARTERRIS, a French agricultural and agrifood cooperative group, acquires the OVIMPEX group. 2017 OVIMPEX DISTRIBUTION integrates ALPES PROVENCE AGNEAUX, DUFOUR SISTERON and COMPTOIR SISTERONNAIS DES PEAUX to form the company ALPES PROVENCE AGNEAUX. 2018 OVIMPEX buys the CANU company, which has specialized in the trade of offal of all kinds for two generations. 2019 OVIMPEX celebrates its 50th anniversary on the Rungis market.
