Neovia

What Neovia does

Neovia is a privately held French animal nutrition company founded in 1954 and headquartered in Vannes, France. It operates a multi-activity, multi-species, and multi-area model with a workforce of 5,001–10,000 employees, serving livestock producers across cattle, poultry, aquaculture, pets, equine, ruminant, and swine categories. Its product portfolio is organized around four pillars — Complete Feed, Feed Additives & Ingredients, Macro Ingredients, and Premixes & Services — combined with species-specific nutritional solutions designed to optimize animal health and economic performance rather than offering one-size-fits-all formulations.

The company's technical offering combines proprietary formulation know-how with tailored premix services to meet specific nutritional needs. Distribution and service reach are global, supported by ADM Animal Nutrition infrastructure (Neovia is described in source materials as "now part of ADM Animal Nutrition"), with products hosted on adm.com. Revenue mechanics are not disclosed in the source data; the company has historically operated in the B2B agricultural inputs value chain, supplying feed manufacturers, integrators, and farmer-producers. No pricing model, customer logos, or revenue figures are publicly available.

In May 2019, Neovia executed two financing transactions: a $168 million equity round led by Eurazeo, Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division, and Rhone Capital, alongside a separate $602 million tranche from undisclosed investors. It also established Neovia Venture, a corporate venture arm overseen by Director Cédric Lombard, signaling intent to participate in agri-food innovation. Subsequent integration into ADM positions Neovia's portfolio within a larger global agribusiness platform, though specific ownership, subsidiary structure, and post-acquisition operating details are not available in the supplied data.
