France-based hard candy (“bonbons”) manufacturer

I currently have visibility on a France-based hard candy (“bonbons”) manufacturer with a clear super-premium positioning and very strong product quality. The company generates around EUR 4m in revenue and is currently break-even. It operates from a 4,000 sqm factory that is only about 30% utilized, offering meaningful upside through volume growth or contract manufacturing. The real estate is owned by the company. The owner, in his 60s, acquired the business around 10 years ago and is now looking for a full exit at a very reasonable price. This could be an attractive small-cap platform with asset backing and operational upside for the right owner. DM with a few sentences about your background and motivation to learn more.

Consider contacting Paris-based brand, Le chocolat des Français, lechocolatdesfrancais.fr. They've been growing their global distribution and do not have hard candy in their colorful and fun mix of products.
