Eclor

Eclor, founded in 2004 as the beverage division of the agricultural cooperative Agrial, operates within the Food, Beverages & Tobacco and Manufacturing industries. The company initially focused on cider and apple juice, historically known for brands such as Loïc Raison and Ecusson. Eclor is dedicated to revitalizing the cider market in France and has strategically expanded its portfolio beyond traditional offerings. Its operations now encompass beer and soft drinks within the French market, demonstrating a commitment to diversified beverage production and market penetration. The company's revenue stands at $138.7M, supported by a workforce of 500 - 1,000 employees, indicating a substantial operational scale.

Beyond its domestic presence, Eclor has pursued international growth, entering the U.S. market in 2012 with products including compotes and vinegars. A key development was the launch of the first French Hard Cider under the brand La Mordue in 2017, targeting a growing consumer segment. Further solidifying its global ambitions, Eclor made significant inroads into the Anglo-Saxon market through the acquisition of Aston Manor, a leading UK cider producer. This strategic move enhances its competitive position and expands its geographic footprint significantly, leveraging established brands and distribution networks in key international territories.
