Our History
It all began in 1994, when Mr. Jouault, founder of the family-owned agricultural group J.DIS, purchased a production facility for deli and pastry products in Torcé. GELDELIS was founded: a Breton company specializing in quiches and tarts.
Our expertise inspires us to reinvent quiches and tarts by creating innovative recipes in a mini format. That’s how we launched our appetizer bites. At first, they were filled using a pastry bag. Today, we use automatic filling machines, but we maintain that artisanal spirit by finishing them by hand. This product has now become an icon of our company.
The packaging and storage areas are being expanded and renovated. This allows us to meet growing demand while adhering to increasingly high quality standards. This investment has been recognized with two certifications: IFS Food and BRC.
We decided to expand our selection of pies with an original creation: weput a new spin on the famous Tarte Tatin by making a savory version. It was a huge success. We then developed the savory Tarte Tatin into a variety of different recipes: summer vegetables, zucchini and goat cheese, a carrot duo...
Geldelis has become a member of the "Produit en Bretagne" network. This association, founded in 1993, aims to promote the expertise of Breton companies, in particular by allowing them to display a logo on their products and services.
The acquisition of SEADELIS allows us to expand our product lineup to include seafood.
We are investing 7M€ to modernize and expand our manufacturing facility. This expansion will allow us to increase our production capacity and improve our operational efficiency, enabling us to be even more responsive in meeting our customers’ expectations.
Today, Geldelis—blending tradition and modernity—is recognized across all retail channels for offering quiches and tarts that are perfect for any occasion. As a Breton company, we export our products to many countries, including Germany, Switzerland, Japan, and Hong Kong…
