Our businesses
Bolloré Group’s history started in 1822 on the banks of the Odet river near Quimper, In Brittany. Long specialized as a thin paper manufacturer, the Bolloré Group has evolved over the past two centuries. Facing technical and social challenges, it switched from thin paper to thin plastic films. For more than thirty years, the Bolloré Group has been diversifying in order to better manage risks. Its constant innovation and international strategy led the Group to hold strong position in each of its business lines: transportation and logistics, communications and media, electricity storage and systems.
