Our history is a guarantee of
our passion and know-how.

1881

Our adventure started in 1881, when the Confiturerie de la Thiérache
was set up in Boué, in the heart of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais-Picardie region’s orchards, whose apples we still transform today. At this point in time, tradition and quality were already part of our DNA.

1922

In 1922, Edouard Materne, a visionary businessman, purchased the Confiturerie de la Thiérache and brought Materne into being. In a short space of time, the company became one of the five leading jam makers in France.

1983

Materne became the leader in transformation of fruit when it joined the Danone group, acquiring two fruit canneries at the same time: the Lenzbourg and Lerebourg firms. Our industrial culture became a matter of course!

1998

How can we ignore the creation of Pom'Potes, the very first gourd of stewed fruit launched by Materne? Today, this innovative product is a leader on its market and has profoundly changed the snacking habits of many schoolchildren!

2006

This year witnessed an international deployment. Materne joined forces with Mont-Blanc dessert creams and the MOM Group was born, becoming the leader on the healthy snacks market in Europe and soon in the USA.

2009

Materne Industries doubled its capacities for producing industrial fillings, becoming able to produce a large array of aqueous fillings adapted to the specific processes and technologies of each customer.

2016

A new important stage in our development: Materne joined the French Group BEL to become the international leader in the healthy snacks market.
