TFF Group (Tonnellerie François Frères) has announced the finalization of its acquisition of the remaining 45% stake in Tonnellerie Rémond. The world leader in wine and spirits aging products now holds 100% of this artisanal gem, sealing a strategic integration that began four years ago.
In accordance with the shareholders' agreement signed in March 2022, which provided for a final settlement by 2028 at the latest, TFF Group has chosen to accelerate the timeline to take full control of the entity as of this spring 2026.
This transaction also marks a historic turning point for Tonnellerie Rémond: it formalizes the final handover from Catherine Desbois-Mouchel, the prominent figurehead who led the house for 37 years. Under TFF's wing, an autonomous and sustainable organization has been structured to ensure the succession of this French oak barrel institution.
Strengthening the "Ultra-Premium" segment
With this acquisition, TFF Group is doing more than just expanding its scope: it is securing exceptional craftsmanship. Tonnellerie Rémond is an undisputed benchmark for the aging of "grands crus." The group's high-end offering is thus bolstered by Rémond's artisanal positioning. Furthermore, since 2022, the partnership has already yielded results in optimizing wood sourcing, human resources, and international commercial development. Finally, being backed by the world leader has allowed Rémond to strengthen its wood inventories (the industry's critical asset) and optimize its profitability.
TFF Group is world No. 1 in maturing products for wine and spirits. The group is the main player in the entire value chain of livestock farming activities:
- wood-based livestock farming: logging, stavelocks, cooperage, large containers and wood products for oenology;
- maturing by stainless steel: top of the range wine boiler making.
TFF Group, already a leader in the wine and whisky cooperage markets, is organizing itself to become one of the major players in the Bourbon market, a new growth accelerator.
At the end of April 2025, the group had over 50 production sites worldwide.
