The origins of the MERAND P.M.E. family company date back to before the 1950's.

Since its formation, the business has been connected with the bakery world: equipment production and distribution.

Pascal Gerard, Chairman of the Holding company has been carrying out responsibilities in MERAND for more than 40 years.

He took over the company in 1993, with his son Yannick.
Up until the end of 1997, 3 activities co-existed within just one company.
For commercial strategy reasons connected with quite distinct markets and geographic zones,
the company formed 3 subsidiaries in January 1998:
MERAND Mécapâte S.A.: manufacture of machines for bakeries.
MERCURIAL Mérand SARL: designer and manufacturer of furniture, window displays and, bread boxes for bakeries
and pastry shops.
MERANPRO Ouest SARL: bakery equipment dealer in West France.

A few figures:
In 2002, the group as a whole achieved a turnover of more than 10 million Euros and employs 65 staff.
