CHEREAU
In the 1950s, Jean CHEREAU developed the first refrigerators designed specifically for transporting perishable goods.
The brand quickly established itself with the production of insulated and then refrigerated vehicles, which were always one step ahead of official regulations and the requirements of road transport companies.
Meat, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, flowers and medicines must comply with increasingly stringent health regulations before they leave production and reach the consumer’s shelf.
Normandy based company
Founded in the 1950s in Avranches, Normandy, the company’s factory and headquarters are now entirely in Normandy. In the heart of the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay area, the three CHEREAU sites lie between Avranches and Ducey with more than 60,000 m² of industrial buildings.
