The Baby Boom

Subsequently, the French baby care market grew considerably due to the post-war baby-boom, and also in response to the momentum in the retailing sector.
Consequently, the 1950s saw a commitment by Allegre to the development of an actual range of baby care products which would from 1965 be given the name TIGEX.

Since then, the brand has continued to expand by paying attention to market trends.

Today Allegre Baby Care is represented by the brands TIGEX, BABYSUN and NUK.
