About Prestige
Prestige is the second of Patisen's two bread improvers and the one the company presents as its baking expertise in brand form. Like Magipain it is sold through the Gamme PRO range aimed at professional bakers rather than at households, and it reflects how much of the company's volume moves through the bakeries that supply bread to West African cities every morning.

About the owner: Patisen
Patisen is a privately held company headquartered in Dakar, Senegal, founded in 1981. Brandtree records 14 brands under its control.
Patisen is a Senegalese food manufacturer founded in Dakar in 1981 and built on stock cubes and seasoning powders, the products West African cooking leans on daily. It describes itself as a leading African food business with around 3,000 staff, four industrial and logistics sites, and distribution across more than 23 African countries as well as France and Canada. Its fourteen brands are deliberately layered at different price points, so that several of them compete in the bouillon aisle at once. Teralys, the agri-food subsidiary of the Moroccan investment company Al Mada, bought a majority stake in July 2023; founder Youssef Omaïs remained a shareholder.
