Eulip

What Eulip does

Eulip Srl is an Italian B2B manufacturer of refined, fractionated, interesterified, hydrogenated, and spray-dried vegetable oils and fats, headquartered in Parma at a single integrated site via A.B. Nobel 7/A. Founded in 1946 and operating for over 80 years, the company serves three verticals: food manufacturers (its primary segment, with applications in bakery, confectionery, ice cream, desserts and chocolate), pharmaceutical companies (excipients, capsule and suppository coatings, carriers for active ingredients), and cosmetics manufacturers (natural alternatives to synthetic fats in skin, hair and color-cosmetics formulations).

Its product portfolio centers on six categories — refined fats, fractionated fats, interesterified fats, hydrogenated fats, powder fats, and semi-finished functional blends — produced through chemical/physical refining, fractionation, interesterification, hydrogenation, and spray-drying in a non-oxidative atmosphere. The facility includes three neutralization lines, four refining lines, a dedicated physical refining line for organic products, fractionation and hydrogenation plants, a spray-dryer system, and pilot plants for R&D, supported by an analytical laboratory equipped with gas chromatographs, HPLC, spectrophotometers, NIR, NMR, GC/MS, DSC and Rancimat instrumentation.

Eulip operates a sales-led, consultative B2B model: customers request consultation via the company website and products are co-developed and customized for specific composition, purity and functionality requirements. Distribution is direct B2B in multiple packaging formats (5-25 kg cartons, 180-195 kg drums, 900 kg IBCs, 500-900 kg octabins, and 5-28 ton tanker deliveries), with both domestic Italian and international reach (operating geographies listed as Europe / Italy). The company carries a deep certification stack — FSSC 22000, ISO 14001, RSPO (MB/SG/IP), Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade, Organic/Bio with NOP equivalence, Kosher, Halal, FAMI-QS, ISCC, SEDEX SMETA Pillar IV, EcoVadis, and B Corp — and was acquired by Freudenberg Italia effective December 1, 2025, integrating into Capol within Freudenberg Chemical Specialities; Andrea Guidi was appointed CEO effective June 29, 2026.

• Musim Mas: One of the world's largest palm-oil producers with downstream refining, fractionation and specialty fats. Operates in overlapping categories (refined and fractionated tropical oils for food and personal care) and competes for similar B2B ingredient accounts.
• AAK (Aarhuskarlshamn): Swedish-headquartered global leader in vegetable oils and fats for the chocolate, bakery, dairy, infant nutrition and personal care industries. Closest direct competitor to Eulip: both offer specialty/functional fats (interesterified, hydrogenated, fractionated) to food and personal care manufacturers with a customization co-development model.
• IOI Corporation Berhad: Malaysia-based integrated palm-oil specialist with significant downstream specialty/refined fats production, including RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil products for global food and oleochemical customers. Closely comparable to Eulip on tropical oils/fractions and sustainable palm oil.
• Oleon (Avril Group): European oleochemical and specialty oils producer, part of French agri-group Avril. Offers refined and modified vegetable oils and fats for food, feed, personal care and pharmaceutical markets, making it a strong functional peer to Eulip in Europe.

Emerging players
