What Frayssinet does

Frayssinet S.A.S. is a French family-owned manufacturer of solid and liquid organic fertilisers, organo-mineral fertilisers, organic amendments, biostimulants, and growing media, founded in 1870 and now in its sixth generation of family leadership under Chairman Thierry Frayssinet and Managing Director Romain Frayssinet. The company operates from a 10-hectare ICPE-classified production site in Rouairoux (Tarn), employing between 101 and 250 people, and runs the in-house 'Clément Phalippou' Research Centre, an ISO 9001-certified analysis laboratory, and proprietary processes including the Biotech C2A active composting technology, cold granulation that preserves useful microorganisms, and the OSYR root growth stimulator (AMM N°1030003, patented 2007). Its technology base also includes NIRS and MP-AES spectrometry, 15 quality-control points, and the FERTISSIMO digital soil-analysis tool used to design tailored Nutrition and Stimulation Programmes.

Frayssinet serves professional agriculture (viticulture, arboriculture, market gardening, field crops), green spaces (golf courses, sports fields, public parks, collectivités), and consumer gardening. Distribution is conducted exclusively through specialist agricultural and green-space distribution networks in France, DOM-TOM, Spain, Italy, the UK, and other markets, with garden-market products reaching end consumers via retailers (GSA, GSS, GSB). The company monetises through one-time product sales plus agronomic training and the AUTHENTIS agro-responsible managed-services programme (3-year contracts, 26 monitored partners since 2007). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; products are sold in 5–40 kg bags, 250–1280 kg maxi-bags, bulk, and 5–1000 litre liquid containers.

Frayssinet holds ISO 9001 (since 2005), ISO 26000 'Exemplary' Engagé RSE (since 2015), HACCP biosafety accreditation, and EC Regulation 1069/2009 composting approval (FR81231001). It is a founding member of ECOFI, a member of EBIC, AFAÏA, UPJ, and BIPEA, and runs research collaborations with INRAE, CIRAD, Montpellier SupAgro, IFV, and Université de Rennes 1. The company also wholly owns Domaine Moulin de Lène, a 60-hectare HEV-certified organic vineyard acquired in 1997 that serves as both showcase and experimental platform. Reported footprint metrics include 84% of products usable in organic agriculture, 80% of solid-product raw materials from the circular economy, and 26,000 assessed by AFNOR under Engagé RSE.
