AgroBiothers Laboratoire

What AgroBiothers Laboratoire does

AgroBiothers Laboratoire is a French pet care manufacturer-distributor founded in 1880 and headquartered in Cuisery, Burgundy. The company produces and sells healthcare products (including parasiticides), cosmetics such as paraben- and silicone-free shampoos, an Ecocert-certified Bio range, accessories, saddlery, beddings, litters, and food for dogs, cats, birds, rodents and fish. It operates three production sites — Cuisery (food, litters), Soultz (petcare, cosmetics) and Bizerte, Tunisia (accessories, beddings, saddlery) — and sells through three sub-brands mapped to different channels: Vétocanis in mass-market retail, Tyrol in specialty pet and garden stores, and Aimé across multiple channels. In January 2023 it acquired Swiss dental and care brand BOGAR to strengthen its European pet hygiene and care position.

The company's business model is multi-channel CPG distribution: it manufactures in-house under veterinary-controlled formulation in its own R&D laboratory, then sells through French food retailers, specialty pet stores (Animalis, Maxi Zoo), garden centers (Botanic, Truffaut, Jardiland), and major e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Cdiscount, Zoomalia, Wanimo) across more than 20 European countries. End customers are pet owners; intermediate customers are retail and marketplace partners. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales with no disclosed subscription or licensing components, and pricing is not publicly disclosed.

In January 2022 AgroBiothers became the first petcare company in France to adopt the 'société à mission' (mission-driven company) status under the PACTE law, embedding environmental and societal purpose in its statutes. The company is privately held as an SAS with registered capital of €300,000, has 250+ employees, and is led by General Director Matthieu Lambeaux. There is no disclosed venture capital, private equity or institutional investor involvement in the available materials.
