Andros (company)

The company is based in Biars-sur-Cère, in the Lot department, near the touristic Dordogne region and the city of Brive-la-Gaillarde, Corrèze.

The family-owned company is well known for its long term primary sponsorship of the ice rallycross championship Andros Trophy and French rugby union club CA Brive.

At the end of the Second World War, Jean Gervoson decided to start a jam business whose headquarters were located near Brive-la-Gaillarde, in Biars-sur-Cère in the Lot.

[7] The Andros group also produces frozen yoghurts, marmalades, confectionery, and desserts for large-scale distribution companies such as Carrefour.

[6] In May 2022, near the Biars-sur-Cère main factory, Andros opened a new transformation industrial site in Brive-la-Gaillarde, strengthening even more its influence in its native area.

[10] The firm appeared on the 1996–97 Heineken Cup winners' jersey when Brive defeated Leicester Tigers in final.

In March 2015, Novandie, a subsidiary of the Andros group, along with eight other companies, was sentenced in a “yoghurt cartel” case[12] for agreeing on the prices of dairy products.
