Eggnovo

What Eggnovo does

Eggnovo S.L. is a Spanish biotechnology company founded in 2012 in Villatuerta, Navarra, that manufactures branded functional ingredients derived from eggshell membrane and eggshell through a patented circular-economy process. The company extracts and preserves a matrix of naturally occurring bioactive compounds — including collagen types I, V and X, hyaluronic acid, elastin, chondroitin sulphate, glucosamine, and over 400 biomolecules — and converts eggshell calcium into a multimineral matrix and an upcycled industrial calcium carbonate. The proprietary portfolio comprises seven trademarked ingredients: Ovomet (joint health and mobility), Ovoderm (skin, hair, nail beauty-from-within), Ovocet (bone health), Ovopet (pet health), RejuveColl Triple Active and Mineralsens (cosmetics), and Circular Carb (industrial fillers for plastics, rubber, paints and ceramics).

Eggnovo operates a sales-led B2B ingredients model, supplying formulators and manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food & beverage, cosmetic, pet nutrition, and industrial sectors across more than 50 countries. Manufacturing is centralized at a single facility in Villatuerta, with commercial offices in Spain (Tajonar) and France supporting international customer engagement. The company offers galenic-format variants (capsules, softgels, vials, powders, tablets, gummies, liquid shots) for compatibility with diverse supplement and food matrices, and substantiates efficacy with over 20 in vivo, in vitro, and clinical studies. FSSC 22000 and Halal certifications position the platform for global food, supplement, and Middle East/Asia distribution.

Revenue mechanics are based on direct B2B ingredient sales to enterprise manufacturers at quote-based, undisclosed pricing. The company reported revenue above €10 million in 2025, with 30%+ annual growth between 2020 and 2025. In March 2026, Aleos Capital acquired a majority stake through its inaugural fund Aleos Fund I — with participation from an international sector-experienced investor — to fund expansion into Asia and the United States and to develop new applications in cosmetics, food & beverages, and eco-industrial solutions. The company employs 40 people as of 2025.

Direct peers

• Biova: US-based supplier of water-soluble eggshell membrane ingredients for joint, skin, and animal health applications. Direct competitor in the eggshell membrane ingredient category with overlapping product positioning (joint health, beauty) and a similar B2B ingredient-supply model.
• Stratum Nutrition (ESM Technologies): Markets NEM® (Natural Eggshell Membrane), a branded eggshell membrane ingredient for joint and connective tissue health sold to supplement manufacturers. Closest US-based direct peer with shared ingredient category, clinical-study-backed claims, and B2B nutraceutical customers.
• Bioiberica: Spanish-based life-science company producing bioactive ingredients for joint health, mobility, and animal nutrition from natural sources. Iberian peer with overlapping joint-health ingredient portfolio and B2B nutraceutical/pet-nutrition customer base.

Broad incumbents

• GELITA: Global leader in collagen peptides and gelatin for nutraceutical, food, and pharmaceutical applications. Serves the same supplement and functional-food formulators that Eggnovo targets, with much broader portfolio and deeper distribution.
• Rousselot: World-leading gelatin and collagen peptide manufacturer owned by Darling Ingredients. Competes head-to-head with Eggnovo in collagen-positioned ingredients for nutraceutical and food applications, with far greater scale and global reach.
• PB Leiner: Part of Tessenderlo Group, producing gelatin, collagen peptides, and related functional ingredients for food, nutraceutical, and pet nutrition. Overlaps with Eggnovo's collagen, pet nutrition, and food & beverage verticals.
• Vital Proteins: Leading consumer collagen and wellness supplement brand. Although a finished-product brand rather than an ingredient supplier, it defines the market Eggnovo's nutraceutical customers serve and shapes competitive positioning across beauty-from-within and joint health categories.
• Seppic: Air Liquide subsidiary supplying specialty ingredients for cosmetics, nutrition, and pharma. Overlaps with Eggnovo's RejuveColl and Mineralsens cosmetic ingredient offerings and serves the same beauty and personal care formulators.
• Tessenderlo Group: Belgian specialty group whose PB Leiner division competes in collagen and gelatin ingredients for food, nutrition, and pet applications. Comparable as a diversified specialty ingredient platform with broader scale than Eggnovo.

Emerging players

• Specnova: Ingredient supplier specializing in egg-based and shell-membrane ingredients for joint and connective tissue health. Niche competitor with similar upstream feedstock and product positioning, focused on the supplement channel.
