The Adisseo group has agreed to buy Nor-Feed and its subsidiaries. The Adisseo Group’s acquisition of Nor-Feed, a French company that designs, manufactures, and sells plant-based specialty ingredients and plant extracts for animal nutrition, is part of the Adisseo Group’s global leadership strategy for specialty animal nutrition ingredients.
Nor-Feed, based in the Angers Technopole (France), was founded 20 years ago by Pierre and Cecile Chicoteau around an original and unique project focused on the preventive role of nutritional strategies by promoting botanical extracts from agricultural coproducts in animal nutrition and hygiene, with the goal of limiting the use of antibiotics, coccidiostats, and pesticides.
Adisseo and Nor-Feed have already identified some synergies, specifically to strengthen and expand the penetration and adoption of these products in extremely high-growth markets where Adisseo is already well-established and has real legitimacy.
Jean-Marc Dublanc, CEO of Adisseo: “We are pleased to have signed an agreement to acquire the Nor-Feed Group, which is consistent with the Adisseo mission to offer its customers sustainable, affordable, qualitative, and safe solutions. This operation is part of our strategy to accelerate the growth of our Specialty products on unique and differentiating technologies.”
“Nor-Feed has solid foundations, and our purpose is unique on the market,” says Pierre Chicoteau, co-director of Nor-Feed. We have created and registered botanical additives for animal nutrition that are safe, effective, and made in France within a structured CSR framework.
