ARCADO acquired by MBO+ & AMUNDI PRIVATE EQUITY

Arcado is a French charcuterie group based in the Doubs, in the Bourgogne‑Franche‑Comté region, specialized in premium IGP‑labelled sausages such as Morteau and Montbéliard sausages, as well as related cured meat specialties. The group produces and markets branded and private‑label products through a portfolio of historical brands, including Morteau Saucisse, Clavière, Chambade, and Jean‑Louis Amiotte. Its business model combines artisanal production, geographical identity, and strong positioning in the mass‑market retail channel, particularly in large supermarkets and hypermarkets. The company operates at the intersection of craftsmanship and industrial scale, preserving a partly artisanal manufacturing process while leveraging procurement and brand power to secure a significant share of the IGP sausage market. Arcado controls a large portion of the Morteau and Montbéliard sausage segments, benefiting from label protection, regional sourcing, and consumer perception of quality and authenticity. Its product strategy is reinforced by a series of acquisitions, including Clavière in 2017 and Aux Produits Saugets in late 2020, which expanded both its range and its distribution footprint.
