WHO AM I?

Pierre-Antoine Chevaleraud, milling consultant

Engineer and hands-on miller, I have worked through every stage of the grain industry: from grain storage to the technical management of a milling group. Since 2023, I have been supporting industrial players worldwide with EPPIC Conseil.

My approach

Every mill is unique. I work on the ground, analyse your processes and propose concrete solutions — not reports that end up in a drawer.

My mission

Helping millers improve performance, quality and competitiveness, on-site or remotely, in France and internationally.

15+ years of hands-on experience
From France to Africa, from the Middle East to Asia

Complete milling expertise, from grain to flour

Processes, yields, training, strategy: I step in wherever your mill needs to improve.

Action plans

Strategic consulting

Step 1
Diagnosis

I analyse your situation on the ground: processes, teams, yields, quality. An unfiltered outside perspective.

Step 2
Action plan

I build a concrete, prioritised plan tailored to your situation — not a generic report.

Step 3
Implementation

I work on-site or remotely to implement the solutions with your teams — not just recommend them.

Step 4
Measured results

We track the indicators together: yields, quality, costs. The goal is a real, lasting financial impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

I work all over the world: in France, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Europe. My missions take place on-site or entirely remotely, depending on your needs and constraints.

I mainly work with industrial mills, multi-site grain groups, semolina mills and players across the wheat-to-flour supply chain. Whether you are in a start-up, growth or optimisation phase, I adapt my approach to your situation.

Every mission begins with a conversation to pinpoint your needs. I then carry out an on-the-ground diagnosis, followed by a concrete action plan. The engagement can be a one-off intervention or an ongoing collaboration, depending on the objectives defined.

Yes: I design and deliver tailored training programmes for your operators and managers, in French or English, on-site or remotely. I am also an expert consultant for ENSMIC.
