Nutritec

What Nutritec does

Nutritec S.A.S is a Colombian animal nutrition company that designs, manufactures, and distributes customized vitamin-mineral premixes, specialty feed additives, and nutritional supplements for intensive livestock, poultry, and swine production, with a secondary line in companion animal nutrition. Its core technical offering is tailored premix formulation built on 10,000+ accumulated feed formulas, supported by two NIR spectroscopy systems (portable and laboratory) for real-time raw material and finished-feed quality control, and proprietary biotechnology-derived ingredients sourced from parent company Grupo Levapan's 70+ year yeast fermentation platform (Biolev). The company operates three production centers in Yumbo, Valle del Cauca, including the main plant and the NFS facility with batch-size customization, white production lines, and controlled environments, and is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 28000:2022, and Carbon Neutral (CN-CER-2023-73643) standards.

Nutritec monetizes through direct sales of customized premixes and branded specialty supplements (SOLUVIT® electrolyte, AMIVIT® metabolic support, the Piggy line for piglets, BIOESSENTIALS additives), complemented by professional services revenue from laboratory analysis (mycotoxin, proximal, amino acid profiling via NIR and HPLC, atomic absorption minerals), feed mill technical advisory, training programs, and toll manufacturing (maquila). Distribution is primarily direct through a specialized commercial team providing on-farm technical advisory, augmented by regional channel partners such as Goloso for porciculture, and a dedicated veterinary/retail channel (nutritecmascotas.com, sub-brand Nutritec Mascotas) for companion animal products. The company targets enterprise livestock and poultry producers across 6 Latin American countries and has stated a goal of more than 30% annual sales growth by 2031.

The business is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo Levapan, a Colombian conglomerate with 6 manufacturing plants and over 800 employees, from which Nutritec derives proprietary ingredient access, shared R&D infrastructure, and corporate overhead leverage. The company employs 100+ people across operations, including 15+ nutritionists, veterinarians, and technical specialists, and positions itself as a precision-nutrition partner for producers seeking customized solutions, regulatory compliance, and ongoing technical advisory rather than as a commodity premix supplier.
