Unibel is a French brand that was originally established in August 1921 under the name La Carbonique. Initially, the company manufactured and sold carbon dioxide, and it was listed on the Paris Stock Exchange in the 1940s. Over the years, Unibel went through several transformations and reorganizations, eventually focusing primarily on its core business as a cheese manufacturer through its subsidiary Bel.

In July 1987, Unibel absorbed the non-listed Bel family holding company, SFPE, becoming the majority shareholder of Fromageries Bel and solidifying its role as the group's animating entity. Currently, Unibel operates as a lightweight holding company dedicated to directing and overseeing the overall strategy of the Bel Group. As the animating entity, Unibel maintains constant communication with Bel's management team, offering guidance and support in various areas of policy and strategy.

Unibel's corporate structure is that of a public limited company with a management board and supervisory board. The brand's website provides detailed information about the Bel Group, including regulated information and news updates. Unibel's shares, with the ISIN code FR0000054215 and ticker symbol UNBL, can be either registered or bearer shares.

The company has access to the list of registered shareholders and, in accordance with its statutes, may also process the identification of bearer share owners in compliance with privacy regulations.
