From 1933
to 2014

It all started in 1933 when Pierre Doux began trading chickens in Nantes at the tender age of 16. And so the Doux Group embarked on an epic adventure…

In 1955, after a hiatus of several years during World War II, Pierre Doux got his business back on track and moved to Port Launay in Brittany, France. The company grew and had its very own abattoir.

In 1970, Doux chickens were also being enjoyed in Russia and Lebanon.

Four years later, in 1974, the first Doux chickens went on sale in Saudi Arabia.

This marked the beginning of a trust-based relationship between us, a relationship that has been lasting for over 40 years!

Charles Doux takes over from his father as the head of the company.

In the 1980's, the Doux Group pursued its international expansion, especially in the Middle East: in Yemen, in Kuwait, in the United Arab Emirates, in Iraq, Iran, and Africa, as well as in the French overseas departments and territories.

In France, the head office gets a makeover, while a new factory is built in Châteaulin (Brittany, France).
The Group now boasts eight production facilities, all of which are located in western France

Building on several years' experience in the sector, the Doux Group decided to branch out by creating a new range of processed food: nuggets, breaded steaks, burgers, and more to add real variety at mealtimes! A new range of Chicken Franks was also introduced.

In 1999, the Doux Group became the first global player to introduce a Quality and Environment Charter in partnership with farmers.
