Three generations of Troubats,
assisted by 35 employees

It was in 1923 that the name Troubat first featured in the history of Anis de Flavigny, when Jean Troubat took over the factory. He diversified the distribution networks (department stores, fairs , and vending machines in train and metro stations in particular) and began exporting the sweets: to Europe, the United States, Canada, and Algeria.

His son Nicolas took the reins in 1965 and placed the Anis de Flavigny in motorway service stations, increasing annual production from 80 to 250 tons. He was awarded two signs of professional recognition :the “Ruban Bleu” (Blue Ribbon) prize by the Intersuc trade show in 1982 for the longevity record of Anis de Flavigny and the classification of the factory as a “Site Remarquable du Goût ” (Notable Site of Taste) in 1992.

Since 1999, Catherine, who took over from her father Nicolas, has continued the tradition of Anis de Flavigny and the company’s commercial development. If it was the task of men to popularize the sweets through the centuries, it is now a woman at the helm leading this adventure!
