About François FEUILLET

François Feuillet is one of the most prominent figures in French family-owned business, particularly in the recreational vehicles sector. A graduate of HEC, he began his career in audit at KPMG before moving into financial management and then general management roles at Singer and Compagnie Française du Meuble. He joined TRIGANO in 1981, at a time when the group was still largely focused on camping and sports goods, and went on to play a decisive role in its industrial and strategic transformation for nearly four decades. Under his leadership, TRIGANO expanded well beyond its original distribution business and entered the manufacturing of motor caravans in 1984, followed by trailers and garden equipment in 1992. That diversification marked a major turning point for the company, which was later listed on the stock market in 1998. Since then, TRIGANO has pursued an active acquisition strategy, mainly in the leisure vehicle market, building a strong European footprint through successive deals in France and across Europe. The group is now a leading pan-European player with a broad industrial base and a multi-country presence. François Feuillet led TRIGANO from 1981 to 2020 before becoming Chairman of the Supervisory Board. This transition reflects a gradual governance handover while preserving his role as reference shareholder and strategic anchor for the group. Recent company documents identify him as Chairman of the Supervisory Board and as a representative of the majority shareholder within the governance structure. Beyond his executive role, he is closely associated with TRIGANO’s long-term value creation, industrial consolidation and ownership structure. Recent reports show that the Feuillet family continues to hold a majority of the company’s capital and voting rights, underscoring François Feuillet’s central position in the group’s shareholder balance. His career embodies a family-governed model built on entrepreneurial vision, financial discipline and international growth.
