Who we are

VELFOR GROUPE: 50 years of innovation serving local communities and businesses.

For 50 years, the VELFOR group has been a key player in its region, a pioneer in economic and industrial development. Under the leadership of Pierre BRUN, a true entrepreneur and captain of industry, the company has evolved with the times, combining pragmatic vision and technical expertise to build a solid and respected group.

Pierre BRUN’s family origins and his background in agriculture and industry have given him a keen understanding of local realities. From the outset of his adventure, he was convinced that the future lay in developing the local economic fabric. His desire to put his home region, the VELay and the FORez, to work , as the company’s name suggests, was the driving force behind his strategy. This vision has led VELFOR to diversify, strengthen and invest in large-scale industrial structures, both regionally and nationally, in a variety of sectors.

VELFOR’s reliability, both in the quality of its products and in the solidity of its professional relationships, is a guarantee of confidence for all its partners.

With passion, respect and innovation, the VELFOR Group continues to help build the future of our territories, to diversify and meet the challenges of tomorrow, a living heritage enriched by successive generations.
