Les Laboratoires Gilbert is above all a story rich in innovation and transmission. Founded in 1904 in Paris by Alexandre Gilbert, a botanical pharmacist, they began their career with a revolutionary invention: the Feuille de Saule cutting plaster. This first success laid the foundations for a company of excellence in the pharmaceutical field, which today has an international presence. This pioneering spirit has been perpetuated by three generations of passionate, visionary entrepreneurs.
In 1962, Jacques Batteur took up the torch and moved the company to Hérouville Saint-Clair, in Normandy. His return to his roots in his native region reflects a determination to build a solid company rooted in family values. With his innovative approach and in-depth knowledge of the pharmaceutical sector, he laid the foundations for the exceptional growth that was to mark the history of Laboratoires Gilbert.
In 1974, Laurent Batteur, his son, took the helm and set the company on a remarkable course of expansion. Under his leadership, Laboratoires Gilbert experienced spectacular growth: in just 25 years, the number of employees rose from 20 to 800, and sales reached 180 million euros. This period was marked by the creation and acquisition of companies, strategic industrial investments and a constant commitment to the company's independence. Laurent Batteur's vision reflects a determination to preserve a family model while meeting the demands of a rapidly changing market.
Today, Cédric Batteur continues this trajectory by developing strategies focused on internationalization and innovation. Guided by the same values of quality, respect and excellence, he aims to expand Laboratoires Gilbert's presence in new markets, while consolidating their position in France.
