DGF is a French company that was founded in 1986. The company's initial project was to create a distributor network that was radically different from the usual buying groups. Instead of just pooling purchases of nationally branded products, DGF aimed to offer private label products to bakers and pastry chefs, highlighting quality and a premium image. Over the years, the company has demonstrated the success and relevance of this concept through sustained growth. Functioning as a distributor of raw materials for professionals in the culinary arts, DGF leverages its experience and expertise to provide a wide range of high-quality products accompanied by implementation recipes. The company serves various professionals including bakers, pastry chefs, chocolatiers, ice cream makers, caterers, and restaurateurs. Their business decisions are driven by a commitment to supporting the development and success of their clients, placing emphasis on anticipation, service quality, and meeting customer needs. The company also boasts an integrated team of pastry chefs to ensure the relevance of product innovations, effectively meeting market expectations. DGF possesses a substantial network comprising 25 distributors in France and 83 in 75 countries, showcasing their knowledge, resources, and ability to invest in innovation and services, as well as implement effective solutions. In addition to its primary activities, the company owns the Académie des Experts, an institute that provides training, demonstrations, and practical workshops throughout the year in France and abroad. Furthermore, DGF hosts an international pastry competition, the Mondial Des Arts Sucrés, held biennially in Paris, bringing together 16 countries for a four-day event. The competition specifically mandates the participation of a male-female duo in each team, and it serves as an excellent platform for industry professionals to showcase their skills. The company's latest recorded investment was a Debt Financing investment on 7 November 2016, with the investor being Permira Credit.
