icone-Frozen Frozen

French leader
in frozen savoury food

The first company acquired by the Le Graët group, Celtigel has been a pioneer and major player in frozen starters and ready meals since 1986.

Our frozen food SME effectively tailors its service and efficiently meets the varied specifications of our supermarket own-brand clients. Thanks to its industrial expertise, which keeps down production costs, and its ongoing investment in state-of-the-art equipment, Celtigel has managed to maintain its competitive edge and position as leader in the frozen food market.

Age-old culinary expertise

An innovative creator of recipes that respects the identity of each brand, Celtigel, which specialises in supermarkets, out-of-home catering, leading own-brand retailers, specialised channels and subcontracting, takes a multi-network and multi-product approach. Our teams offer a wide variety of elaborate frozen dishes, starters and appetisers that meet varying requirements: Origine France Garantie [French Origin Guaranteed], label rouge, agriculture biologique [Organic Farming], MSC, ASC, halal and vegan.

Our experienced chefs and project managers create hundreds of innovative recipes each year in our cooking lab, combining creativity, balanced flavours, new tastes and natural ingredients. These recipes are adapted to various consumer trends: everyday, festive, gourmet and exotic.

Deep freezing is a safe and efficient technology. It is one of the best ways to maintain food freshness, freezing the essential nutrients and vitamins while preserving the flavours in our products. This preservation method allows us to develop products without additives or preservatives, whose ingredients are sourced primarily from committed local suppliers.

High-performance production equipment

GOURMET RECIPES GUARANTEED: With all the browning, stewing, marinating, and preparation of creamy sauces going on, our cooking lab smells like a typical household kitchen. Equipped with several kitchens and cookers with specific characteristics, our gourmet, balanced and comfort food recipes are prepared with great passion and expertise every single day.


A COMPETITIVE GROUP: Our productive and efficient frozen food company regularly invests in automated machinery and robots. Our production lines, together with our industrial expertise, allow us to offer a wide variety of products in various types of packaging (ceramic dishes, shells, eco-friendly trays, skin-pack containers, cases and sachets). Packaging optimised for the environment and our clients’ expectations in conjunction with our packaging engineer.


THOROUGH ANALYSES: Our lab technicians carry out microbiological analyses on all fresh ingredients and finished products to ensure the safety of the manufacturing process. By carrying out systematic physical, chemical and organoleptic testing of the ingredients received, as well as tastings of the finished products, we can ensure a stable production process.
