In this French‑language podcast episode, host SPEAKER A interviews entrepreneur Augustin Rudigoz about the rapid acquisition and turnaround of Tupperware’s European operations after the U.S. parent filed for Chapter 11 in 2024. The conversation covers the ultra‑fast due‑diligence (data‑room opened March 1 2025, deal signed April 1 2025), the legal structure (buying the Belgian‑registered entity, placing the French subsidiary in sauvegarde, and partnering with Banque Populaire for financing). Rudigoz explains how the team inherited a company with tens of millions of intra‑group debt, no accounting system, no CRM, no stock, and no product to sell, and had to digitalise sales, rebuild logistics, and recover stock across Europe. The direct‑sales network (VDI) – historically a women‑driven, 450 000‑strong network at its peak – is presented as the core asset, now targeting €50‑100 million in revenue and expanding from an initial five‑country footprint (France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Poland) to 23 European markets. The interview also delves into the entrepreneurial mindset that led a tech founder to a legacy consumer‑goods brand, the importance of team chemistry, the challenges of multi‑currency, multi‑legislation expansion, and the digital transformation of Tupperware parties into live‑stream and social‑media sales. Rudigoz shares lessons learned – the need for internal communication, rapid decision‑making, and leveraging existing expertise – and offers advice to aspiring acquirers. The episode ends with updates on recent country launches, product development, and future growth plans, including adding complementary brands and possibly own‑label products under the Oubo (Out of the Box) brand.
