An organization close to its markets

As proximity to consumers is essential to have a good understanding of the needs and of the diversity of eating habits, the Bel Group is organized into five geographic regions: Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Americas Asia Pacific, Great Africa and Near and Middle East. This organization favors our understanding of local markets and allows subsidiaries to act autonomously and responsively so that they can seize opportunities to support the Group's growth.

Cheese eating habits vary around the world, so Bel has identified three market types, that reflect those differences: mature, developing and underdeveloped. Mature markets, have a long-standing cheese tradition, notably France, Europe and North America. Developing markets include countries in North Africa and the Near Middle East, where processed cheese is already present and opportunity for growth is significant. But there is almost no cheese tradition in undeveloped markets, for example those found in Asia and in some African countries whese much work remains to be done.


Management Committee

Working under the authority of CEO and Chairman Antoine Fiévet, the Group management committee is in charge of the operating management of the Bel Group, implementing the strategy for the company as well as for all of its subsidiaires ensuring the coordination between the various entities and monitoring operating results and directives. Its membership includes the Deputy General Manager and eight Vice-Presidents, each of one individually responsible for a business activity or an operational region, and all upholding the Group's strategy and mission.
