Eureden secures French reinsurance licence approval for captive

French agri-food group Eureden has become the latest company to have its reinsurance captive approved by the French regulator, the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR).

Eureden Réassurance now appears on the ACPR’s list of approved reinsurers, having been active since 31 July 2025.

Documents show the Eureden Réassurance received a capital injection of more than €7 million on 17 July 2026, to hold €7,187,000 in share capital.

Dany Rochefort, president of Eureden Group, is listed as the captive’s chairman of the board of directors, while David Walckenaer, Eureden’s chief financial officer, serves the captive as deputy chief executive officer.

Daniel Le Garff is the captive’s general manager, and Frédéric Conq is its vice president. Rochefort, Conq, Philippe Couellan, Mikael Guégan, and Jacques Cordroch are all listed as the captive’s administrators.

Forvis Mazars serves the captive as statutory auditor.

Eureden Réassurance is not the first French agri-food group to establish a captive. Clarisse Billot previously told Captive Review how Avril established its captive in 2023 in response to insurability challenges in the sector.

Eureden Réassurance becomes the 29th active captive approved by the ACPR, and the fourth approved this year, following those owned by French firms Petzl (Petzl Re), Egis (Egis Re), and Chimirec (Capquartz).

Of the current 29, 19 were formed from 2023 onwards following the passing of new laws allowing captives a resiliency provision to pool surplus to pay out on future claims.
