The move comes following the retirement of the director at the artisanal biscuit group, Dev’Up said.
Set up in 1978, the biscuit maker employs 50 people and has two production workshops and 11 points of sale in the Centre-Val de Loire region.
According to its website, Biscuiterie Chambord has a 3,000m² facility in Maslives in Centre-Val de Loire, which house the workshop spaces and a retail space.
The business sells a range of sweet and savoury baked goods, including goat’s cheese bites, cherry and chocolate petit fours.

By GlobalData“We wish to continue the development of the Biscuiterie de Chambord by relying on committed teams with recognized skills,” said Emmanuel Vasseneix, the CEO of the LSDH, was quoted as saying in the Dev’Up statement. “We are convinced that the synergies with the group will allow us to consolidate and accelerate the development of this great company.”
Just Food has approached LSDH for further comment.
Dev’Up added Biscuiterie de Chambord is “strengthening its growth trajectory by relying on a recognised player committed to production in France and the development of the territories”.
Headquartered in Centre-Val de Loire, LSDH’s business is split into two divisions: liquid foods and salads and catering.
The business employed over 2,000 staff as of last year. It has a presence in six regions and ten production sites in France as well as a logistics site.
LSDH has recently expanded its company with the purchase of Bonduelle’s packaged-salad business in France, finalised in July.
The deal was first announced in August 2024. The assets sold accounted for around €80m in sales, Bonduelle said in July.
