The success story of a committed French company, rooted in its Vaucluse territory
It was in the family kitchen that Franck Bonfils, during his student years, roasted peanuts to sell them in the bars of Aix-en-Provence. Building on his early successes, he expanded his offer, industrialized his process, and created the company in December 2000. To affirm his attachment to his region of origin, Vaucluse, he chose to call it UN AIR D'ICI.
Two major intuitions led to current successes:
- In 2013, sensing that consumers were ready to adopt “responsible” consumption that would reduce environmental impact, the company launched the “Organic Bulk” model with the provision of dispensers in food retail outlets.
- In 2017, the launch of the JusteBio brand, and the development in 2019 of a range of resealable and compostable bags.
Family and human company, the company is proud of its territorial roots and favors local suppliers.
Our motto? At JusteBio, we fight step by step to offer you excellent, healthy, and 100% organic products.
