BOL

Bollore SA

A French conglomerate with roots reaching back two centuries, Bolloré built its name making ultra-thin specialty papers—famously the OCB brand of rolling papers—and later branched into transport, logistics, and media. It began in 1822 as a paper mill in Odet, Brittany, founded by Jean-Guillaume Bolloré and his brother-in-law Nicolas Le Marié. The surname itself comes from Breton words for "bush" and "laurel," a small nod to the family's rocky coastal homeland.
