Hénaff is the only company in France to operate its own abattoir for manufactured products and to use the whole carcase, prime cuts and all.


The EUR42m (US$53m) a year firm is a household name in France for canned pâté and rillettes, with a 27% market share ahead of William Saurin with 6%. Its flagship product is Hénaff Pâté, sold in distinctive blue and yellow cans.


“No-one else puts prime cuts into pâté, but our blue cans alone account for 15% of the French market for canned pâté,” Loïc Hénaff told just-food at SIAL this week.
