In 1825, Jean-Antoine-Brutus Menier acquired the mill in Noisiel, where Émile-Justin Menier took over in 1853 and built up the Menier empire. His success earned him the nickname "Baron Cocoa". His three sons, Henri, Gaston and Albert, went on to become owners of the company. Appointed president of the Union des chocolatiers et des confiseurs de France in 1882, Gaston took sole charge of the Menier establishments in 1913, after the death of his brothers. He forged a worldwide reputation for the brand, but his heirs became increasingly disinterested in industrial production. The company was finally bought out in 1965 by the Ufico-Perrier group.1988 buyout by Nestlé (source: archives.seine-et-marne.fr)
