En exclusivity, Point was able to penetrate the most eminent family of French capitalism: the Mulliez. Sprawling, the galaxy of these Northerners is deployed in distribution with Leroy Merlin, Decathlon or Auchan… but also in the call center sector with Foundever and energy with Voltalia. A striking power that makes it the leading French employer in the world, with 640,000 employees. As for the cumulative turnover of Mulliez companies, it is around 93 billion euros. Under the French flag, only Total, Stellantis and Axa do better. Stunning.
In this universe, what place does the legendary Gérard Mulliez, founder of Auchan, occupy today? What do his nephews and great-nephews do on a daily basis? The pope of the food trade and his descendants finally engage in Point. Through a long story, we invite you to discover their unique methods in the world and the characters behind the favorite brands of the French. With them, we talked regarding chicks, the art of tidying up peas, but also competition between cousins, value creation, data… and ambitions for their fleet of liners that have been launched at full speed for seven decades.
You will learn how this XXL family made up of 1,550 members and 4 living generations organizes itself on a daily basis to encourage as many of its people as possible to invest in Mulliez companies. “Some are teachers, artists, entrepreneurs, ambitious, followers… It’s great,” enthuses one of the Mulliezes at the helm. You have to know everyone so that everyone can get involved.” A major challenge. Especially since the demographic growth rate of this family would amount to 2-3%, compared to 0.3% for France.
