Jean GAZIGNAIRE - Groupe MUL

Farmers since five generations, the MUL family began its industrial development in the 1970s, at a time when many companies in the Flavors & Fragrances market were giving up with the local production and turning to external supplies. In an opposite way, we decided to preserve and enhance our agricultural activity by opening up new outlets through the acquisition and learning of extraction and distillation activities. This strategic choice means that today, the MUL Group has a unique profile in the sector: both agricultural and industrial; and contributes to the preservation of historical know-how in “Grasse area”, the cultivation and processing of aromatic raw materials. Taking over from her father, it is today with the same family entrepreneurship vision that Cécile MUL, positions the Group’s entities on comprehensive, sustainable and environmentally-friendly traceability projects. « In the 1970s, our group diversified into the extractive and distillation industries in order to guarantee opportunities for our historic agricultural activity.If the farming needed to become industrial to survive in the past, today this is the industrials that we became, who needs its agricultural roots to meet the demand of our customers in terms of product quality, certified and traceable origin, from the plant to the aromatic extracts.The Quality today is no longer only the quality produced, but the Quality of the conditions that surround a production, social and environmental conditions, with People in the middle. The development of our activities is therefore organized around these pillars at the level of the territory, in France and through our partnerships abroad on our supply chains.More than a “Raison d’être”, it must be our Way of Doing, Producing and Committing to Sustainable Development. » Cécile Mul
