1996 Decisive turning point in the company's history as it broke away from the FROMENT 2000 bakeries network and started concentrating its energies exclusively on the industrial production of frozen pastries and par baked breads. Product sales also extended to export.

1998 GENERALE DE BOULANGERIE became PLANETE PAIN - a name in line with our international aspect. Sales sharply increased.
Our production capacity increased :

• A third production line exclusively for bakery products,
• Cold room storage capacity increased from 300 to 1,500 pallets.

1999 Mécatherme Acquisition of a production plant at Sens (near Paris), specialised in the production of par baked breads and baked pastries in a protective atmosphere for which the FLAMBON brand is very well known abroad.

2002 / 2003 Full renovation of the Sens production plant. At the time it had become specialised in the production of par baked frozen breads, par baked breads and baked pastries in a protective atmosphere.
