Bel Portugal
Iberian manufacturing site of French Groupe Bel producing Mini Babybel, Babybel, La Vache qui rit and Boursin.
Groupe Bel is the parent company of Bel Portugal, a subsidiary established as part of the group's global manufacturing footprint. The Groupe Bel website presents the company as a major multinational agri-food manufacturer with operations across dairy, fruit, and plant-based product categories. The group owns and operates a portfolio of over 30 brands and employs more than 11,000 people worldwide. Groupe Bel states that it invented the individual portion format in 1921, a concept now central to its business model. The company manufactures portions designed to reduce food waste while delivering nutritional products in convenient, portable formats. The website indicates production of dairy-based products including cheese portions (brands like Babybel and Kiri), fruit pouches (Pom'Potes and GoGo squeeZ), and vegetable alternatives. The group has received the "Vitrine Industrie du Futur" label as of 2026. While the website does not provide facility-specific details for the Vale de Cambra site, it positions the group's manufacturing as certified and subject to food safety and quality preservation standards required to maintain product integrity during distribution.
