This local family deli meat company, specialising in pork belly, is established in La Montagne. In 1973, the arrival of the son of Pierre aubret, Guy, speeds up development of aubret, with its legal creation and the start of BtoB trade. 10 years later, in 1983, aubret moves to Saint-Mars-La-Jaille in the Loire-Atlantique region. The pork-belly salting activity and other cured products favour sales to the West Indies. The company already has around forty employees. The 1990s mark a turning point in its development, now with 150 employees and a dynamic export activity with the installation of a purpose-built salting facility offering ham, shoulder and belly. In 1993, aubret takes on supermarket distribution and installs a lardons production line to meet demand. Business continues to build up between 1994 and 1995 with the launch of the cooked deli meat activity and the sale of cooked sausages and cervelat in Russia under the brand Excellence de Saint-Mars. In 2000, the CECAB cooperative becomes owner. The private label era dawns in 2004 with the sale of cured products for supermarket distribution requiring heavy investment. To meet consumer demand for practical products, with deli meat culinary aids and its flagship product, the lardon. In 2006, Ollivier Le Bihan, the current Managing Director, wishes to refocus the company on its core business, the pork belly, leading to an increase in the boning and salting. In the following years, cooked culinary aids, such as Frankfurters and poultry sausages, are added to feed the dynamics of the company. In 2011, CECAB, the owner of aubret, becomes majority shareholder within the GAD, which disappears in 2014. Since 2015, aubret has been part of the d’aucy GROUP.
