Maslina

What Maslina does

Maslina International Trade S.L. is a privately held Spanish biotechnology company headquartered in Santander, Cantabria, that manufactures and commercializes bioactive natural extracts derived from olive by-products (olive pomace). Its core technology is the extraction and standardization of terpene- and phenol-rich compounds from olive pomace flour, presented in powder or liquid formats, and positioned as functional feed additives that improve intestinal health in livestock and reduce reliance on antibiotics. The product portfolio comprises five registered brands: OEMIX® and OEMIX-P® (terpene-rich powder), OEMIX-AQUA® (aqueous formulation for aquaculture), PROMIX® (phenol-rich powder), and COLIX® (liquid phenol-rich extract).

The company operates a B2B, sales-led go-to-market targeting commercial poultry and swine producers, with sales generated through direct commercial relationships and exports to 15 countries across five continents. Production occurs at two facilities in La Roda (Sevilla) and Camponaraya (León), both operating under ISO, BRC, IFS, and FAMI-QS quality certifications. Strategic supply agreements with major olive producers and cooperatives secure preferential raw material access at competitive terms, supporting the company's stated 2,000-tonne annual production capacity and treatment of approximately 2 million animals per year.

Maslina reports a 20% annual business increment rate and explicitly states an active expansion and development plan. The company coordinates the EU-funded Olivebiome research project, which develops biotechnological solutions converting agricultural by-products into sustainable probiotics for animal feed. Despite legal incorporation in 2014, the company website claims 20 years of accumulated operational experience. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no cap-table information, no disclosed revenue, and operates with a headcount of 1-10 employees.

Direct peers

• Olmix Group: Olmix develops bioactive ingredients from algae and marine resources for animal nutrition and health, directly comparable to Maslina's olive-bioproduct-based feed additive approach. Both companies market standardized natural bioactives targeting gut health and antibiotic reduction in livestock.
• Nor-Feed: Nor-Feed develops plant-based feed additives (phytogenics) for animal nutrition, with strong focus on intestinal health and antibiotic reduction. Its standardized botanical extracts target the same customer base of poultry and swine producers as Maslina.
• Delacon (Cargill): Delacon is a pioneer in phytogenic feed additives (plant-based bioactives) targeting intestinal health and antibiotic reduction in poultry and swine. Acquired by Cargill, it competes most directly with Maslina in the natural, bioactive gut-health additive category.
• Pancosma (ADM): Pancosma is a Swiss-based specialist in feed additives, including plant extracts, probiotics, and gut-health products for poultry and swine. Acquired by ADM, it is a direct competitor in the bioactive feed-additive space Maslina operates in.
• Innovad Group: Innovad is a specialty feed additive company focused on gut health, mycotoxin management, and immunity in livestock. Its natural-additive portfolio and B2B distribution model closely resemble Maslina's go-to-market.
• Phytobiotics Futterzusatzstoffe: Phytobiotics is a specialist in plant-based (phytogenic) feed additives for livestock, serving swine, poultry, and ruminant markets globally. Its product portfolio of standardized bioactive extracts competes head-to-head with Maslina's olive-derived additives.

Broad incumbents

• Alltech: Alltech is a global animal nutrition company with a wide portfolio including natural feed additives, prebiotics, and gut-health solutions. As a long-established incumbent, it competes with Maslina in the broader antibiotic-reduction and functional-feed space.
• Cargill Animal Nutrition: Cargill's Animal Nutrition business includes Delacon and a broad range of feed additives and premixes. Its scale and global distribution make it a dominant incumbent competing for the same B2B livestock-producer customers as Maslina.
• Kemin Industries: Kemin is a global ingredient manufacturer with animal nutrition offerings including gut-health, palatability, and functional feed additives. Its diversified specialty-additive portfolio overlaps with Maslina's positioning in gut health and animal productivity.

Emerging players

• BioResource International: BioResource International is a smaller specialty company producing bioactive feed ingredients (proteases and protein-based products) targeting gut health and performance in poultry and swine. It is relevant as a comparable specialty-play challenging incumbents in the same niche.
