Michel Soufflet (28 August 1930 – 8 September 2024) was a French industrialist and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of his family company, the Soufflet Group, which is the largest miller of grain and producer of malt in France.
By the time his father died in 1957, the company had expanded with a branch in North Africa, SARL Nord Africaine de produits alimentaires, and a malt production plant in Nogent-sur-Seine.
He developed the roll-on service in 1962, in which trucks picked up and transported cereals directly from field to silo.
In 2000, Michel Soufflet passed the executive torch to his son Jean-Michel.
Soufflet was Director of Secobra Recherche, Member of the specialist board of the France cereals sector (formerly ONIC), and Chairman of SYMEX (French export milling association).
