1707 Capital Information

A single-family office led by Paul-Bernard Poupon and Maximilian Poupon with European entrepreneurial roots, expanding internationally with a strong focus on emerging markets such as India and Southeast Asia. The legacy of the Poupon family traces back to 1865 when Auguste Poupon founded the renowned Dijon mustard brand, Grey Poupon. Throughout the 1900s, the family gained significant success and recognition. During this era, Kraft Foods acquired the American rights for Grey Poupon, and the acquisition of Maille allowed the family to venture into the realm of pickles. Later, under Bernard Poupon’s leadership, the acquisition of Hugo Rietzel, a Swiss agri-food company, established the family as a notable gherkin pickle producer. Whilst our primary focus remains in the agri/food processing industry, we have diversified our portfolio across various sectors such as manufacturing (building materials, glass), services (IT staffing, healthcare/mortgage BPO), and digital ventures (various tech/data ventures). We maintain close collaboration with our portfolio organisations while actively seeking new opportunities that align with our legacy assets and offer synergistic potential.
