Maison Blanc President, Thierry Gillardeau, expressed confidence in the merger's potential to elevate Gillardeau's wholesale operations, enhancing competitiveness and sourcing quality.
The renowned Gillardeau oysters, celebrated in Parisian restaurants, are poised to expand their presence under Mericq's leadership.
