The licence will bolster the firm’s existing activity in the top end of the sausage market. Hénaff has a dedicated production unit at its HQ in Pouldreuzic.

Hénaff confirmed the licence will lead to the creation of ten jobs. Provision is made for a marketing campaign to promote the Johnsonville brand in France.
