OUR HISTORY
In 1985 Alain Moron has been chosen by the Chinese families Go and Tan to launch their brand GO-TAN in France. They hired a French designer to develop a special packaging for France and decided to invest in a fully automated Japanese packing machine
End of 1986 “Pétales à la crevette” GO-TAN, the popular Indonesian prawn crackers, were introduced on the shelves of the largest French hypermarkets with an immediate success.

Launched by our partner FEEF (French Federation of Companies and Entrepreneurs) in 2014, this label values a responsible SME business approach, enabling the development of a socially responsible company respectful of its collaborators, suppliers, customers as well as consumers. As part of a progress initiative inspired by ISO 26000, this audit is renewed every 2 years.
According to Alain Moron, President and founder of TWF: “Our employment footprint, ethics, environmental protection and customer and consumer satisfaction have always been 4 priority pillars. The PME+ label enables us to structure our CSR approach and, above all, to continually improve.“
