Cooperl Arc Atlantique (a.k.a. Cooperl) is the largest pork processing company in France.
Cooperl Arc Atlantique was founded in 1966. The company breeds pigs, kills them in slaughterhouses, and distributes cut pieces of pork for sale. Its slaughterhouses are located in Montfort-sur-Meu, and its head office is in Lamballe, both of which are located in Britanny.
In 2012, the company opened a branch in Beijing, China and Moscow, Russia.
As of 2015, it is the largest pork processing company in France. Its competitor is Groupe Bigard.
In August 2015, both Cooperl Arc Atlantique and Groupe Bigard refused to accept the price set at the Marché du Porc Breton in Plérin, which is used as the norm across France, on the basis that it was too high in comparison with the price set by other European countries like Germany, where both companies also sell pork.
