Originating in France in the 19th century, the brand has expanded its reach globally, offering a wide range of products that cater to diverse tastes and preferences.

History[edit | edit source]

The origins of LU can be traced back to 1846, when Jean-Romain Lefèvre and his wife, Pauline-Isabelle Utile, opened a small bakery in Nantes, France. The couple combined the initials of their last names, Lefèvre-Utile, to brand their biscuits, thus giving birth to the LU name. The company gained fame with the introduction of the Petit-Beurre biscuit in 1886, a product that remains popular to this day.

Over the years, LU has expanded its product line to include a variety of biscuits and snacks, each designed to meet the evolving tastes of consumers. The brand has also been at the forefront of advertising and packaging innovation, making it a household name in France and beyond.
