Discover how Ardian is helping French hot snack brand My Pie scale across Europe while staying true to its local roots.

From kitchen to national brand

Founded in 2015 by co-founders Adrien Goud and Sébastien Rico, My Pie began in Adrien’s kitchen after a trip to New Zealand where the pair discovered the region’s popular meat pies. Inspired to bring a French twist to the format, they built a brand that today is featured across all major French retailers.

My Pie is a proud French brand with the heart of its operations in Mayenne, France, using quality local ingredients, French inspired recipes and a workforce based in the region. It was this clear vision, strong execution, and scaling capacity that caught Ardian's attention.

Scaling operations

Since partnering with Ardian, My Pie has continued to build on this foundation. Today, My Pie has a 12,000-meter square, fully automated factory with 30% of its energy needs met through solar production. With over 200 employees, My Pie is well positioned to support its next phase of growth as it expands beyond French retailers and into Europe markets, including Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Spain.

My Pie controls its entire value chain from R&D to sourcing local ingredients. One goal of Ardian and My Pie’s partnership is to preserve the company's established DNA while continuing to grow and scale.
