OUR SUCCESS STORY IN 23 YEARS AND 12 KEY DATES
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 developed his offer, industrialized his process and created the company in December 2000. And to affirm his attachment to his region of origin, Vaucluse, he chose to call it UN AIR D’ICI.
Today UN AIR D’ICI offers under its JusteBio brand a range of dried fruits, dried fruits, seeds and organic cereals, sold in bulk in 5000 points of sale of the large distribution, as well as a range of 24 references in recyclable bags in the paper sector.

OUR VALUES HAVE REMAINED UNCHANGED FOR 23 YEARS
“Because knowing where we come from allows us to better know where we are going”, the development of the company has always been done with respect for our values: Respect, Pleasure, and Sharing.
RESPECT
Human beings are our main wealth, and respect for people is fundamental. It is a lever of performance: employees are engaged, they invest themselves; trustful relationships with clients, partners, and farmers are sustained.
As we respect our clients, we pay great attention to the quality of our products. Based on a strict specification, we select with the greatest care excellent raw materials. Then we develop the finished products respecting gourmet and exclusive recipes.
Because nature offers us noble products, we respect and work daily in favor of the environment and biodiversity.

SHARING
Our greatest pleasure is to offer healthy, natural, gourmet, and crunchy products, developed in our workshop in Carpentras.
There is real pleasure and great pride in working in a company that is committed to protecting the environment, providing concrete evidence: 75% of waste is recycled, an eco-designed factory, the sponsorship of organic beehives... and regular waste collection actions, along beaches or in industrial areas.

An always-evolving team
To meet the strong growth of the company, 70 jobs have been created locally over the past four years.
And each year, JusteBio also creates 150 indirect jobs, notably with its local social and solidarity economy partners.
Thus, 2 ESATs intervene daily in their own workshop and carry out packaging and labeling operations for some of our products.
An SME proud of its territorial roots
The company favors regional suppliers whenever possible. Thus, it called on GSE, a company from Vaucluse, to build the 10,000 m2 factory and headquarters, inaugurated in 2020 for the company's 20th anniversary.
The company is very involved in Vaucluse, and contributes to many local initiatives: product donations thanks to a partnership with the food bank and Crédit Agricole, regular product donations to the Vaucluse solidarity grocery store, sponsorship of local sports and cultural events...
