Expertise

Expertise as a foundation

Since 1908, our history has been shaped by rigor and high standards.
Generation after generation, our employees have innovated, tested, and analyzed, both in the lab and in the field, every product we offer today.
Thousands of use cases, recipes, and technical challenges have built a true wealth of experience, which we actively leverage every day.
We put this expertise at the service of our clients through personalized advice and tailor-made training sessions.
This transmission of knowledge also builds itself internally: our Qualiopi-certified school continuously teaches the new talents of the company, ensuring they fully benefit from this heritage and, in turn, pass it on to our partners.

Passion

Passion as an essential ingredient

What drives us every day? A deep passion for products, for gastronomy, for the emotions it evokes.
At Louis François, we love watching ingredients transform, textures evolve, and synergies occur... until they create recipes that spark joy, smiles, and indulgence.
Our teams work daily alongside our chefs to test our products, while also analyzing our clients' creations. Seeing our ingredients come to life in their recipes is an endless source of pride.
From traditional cakes to contemporary creations, from frozen desserts to savory dishes, we bring our passion to serve every inspiration.

Innovation

Innovating without compromising on the essentials

Innovation is part of our DNA, but never without respect for our roots.
At Louis François, every new development is based on over a century of know-how, combined with a subtle/precise understanding of consumer trends, customer needs and market realities.
We integrate the technical, regulatory and economic constraints of each project to propose relevant, high-performance solutions.
This listening and co-creation approach enables us to launch 5 to 6 new products every year, designed to inspire gastronomy professionals and push back the boundaries of culinary creativity.

Passing on, for growth

At Louis François, we believe that knowledge is a lever for excellence.
Our products have nothing to hide: no opaque formulas, but high-quality ingredients, clearly explained from the very first stages of culinary apprenticeship.
Passing on knowledge is a responsibility we take on with commitment. Our teams receive ongoing training, and we support our customers, students and partners throughout the year with tailor-made educational programs.
For over 100 years, we have trained thousands of professionals who, in turn, perpetuate this heritage and pass on the proper use of our products.
