The story begins with three co-founders...
In 2017, Gilles Galoux, a former food industry professional from the Paris region, decided to return to his roots by ceasing to supply a sector that ran counter to his values.
When he arrived in Annecy, he had just one obsession: to launch a nutrition brand that respected nature, producers and people’s health. In April 2017, he launched the venture alongside Yoann Conte, a two-Michelin-starred chef, and Benoît Nave, a nutritionist. One is a master of flavour balance, whilst the other creates recipes that combine performance with respect for the body.
Work with the best to create the best
“Nutritional requirements are at the heart of every product we develop at Baouw. By working as a team, we are able to capture that precise balance between naturalness and performance in the design of each of our products.” – Benoît Nave
“Together with my two partners and the whole innovation team, we test, tweak and experiment. I challenge them every time, and that allows us to have a good time and share ideas; they challenge me too. There’s a whole research and development process behind every recipe.” – Yoann Conte
What makes the difference: Team spirit
“Since we set off in 2017, there have been many changes. But one thing hasn’t changed: our team spirit! What kept us going in the early days was the sheer power of the human adventure we were experiencing.”
‘This corporate culture is the bedrock of Baouw – it’s what drives us every day! In a way, I’d like to thank everyone who embodies the brand and has made it what it is today. The Baouw team means everything to me!’ – Gilles Galoux
A PASSION FOR SPORT
The essence of what we believe in: feel good, wear your trainers (wear your trail running trainers more often, during your lunch break)! For pleasure, but also for performance. Corporate culture is also about winning...
A TASTE FOR THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE
The land speaks to us. We are epicureans, bon vivants. We like to smile.
BETTING ON YOUTH
Our teams are young. Because the future belongs to them. But also because youth is not just a question of age, it's also a state of mind and a commitment to the challenges of tomorrow.
THE QUEST FOR MEANING
Together with a commitment to eco-responsibility, and our desire to take positive action, each in our own small way. It's what unites our team.
