In 1919, the Vilgrain family created Les Grands Moulins de Paris. Délifrance was born in 1983 and produced pastries, viennoiserie, and savoury products.[1]
In 1997, Sembawang Corporation Limited acquired a controlling interest in Délifrance Asia Ltd. In 1999, Prudential Asset Management Asia Limited (PAMA) Group Inc. acquired 100% of Délifrance Asia Ltd and made it private.
In December 2007, Singapore-listed company Auric Pacific Group Limited purchased Délifrance Asia Ltd from PAMA; Auric Pacific Group was privatized in 2017.[2]
In the Philippines, Jollibee Foods Corporation operated Délifrance from 1995 to 2010, when the companies severed ties. All former Délifrance restaurants in the Philippines were relaunched as CaféFrance, which was later sold by Jollibee to Euro-Med Laboratories Philippines, Inc.[3][4]
Délifrance ran several franchises in Malaysia until 2015, but as of 2016, all outlets appeared to have closed without official notice. In 2020, the company returned to the Malaysian market with the opening of an outlet at Publika Shopping Gallery, in Kuala Lumpur.[5]
