Roquette Amilina

What Roquette Amilina does

Roquette Amilina, UAB is the Lithuanian operating subsidiary of Roquette Frères, a French family-owned industrial group active in plant-based ingredients since 1933. The entity operates a wheat biorefinery and grain purchasing site in Panevėžys, Lithuania, producing starch-based ingredients, wheat gluten, and plant protein isolates (including potato and pea protein) for downstream use across food and nutrition, health and pharmaceutical, cosmetics, bioindustry, animal nutrition, and agriscience applications. The Lithuanian facility functions as a manufacturing node within Roquette Frères' broader European operations, contributing to the group's roughly 12% global market share in wheat gluten.

The business model is B2B ingredient supply: the entity purchases grain locally, processes it through wheat biorefining, and distributes finished ingredients to downstream industrial customers via the parent group's established global distribution network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and revenue is not reported at the entity level. Customer segments are horizontal rather than vertical, spanning six distinct end-markets — a structure that diversifies demand but also ties the subsidiary's fortunes to the parent's portfolio strategy and capital allocation decisions in France.

Operationally, Roquette Amilina maintains active EU environmental compliance, publishing annual and quarterly monitoring reports (2025 annual, 2026 Q1) and executing a 406,000 EUR air pollution treatment equipment installation co-financed by Lithuania's Environmental Protection and Climate Change Management Development Program, which has reduced particulate emissions from 13.76 t/m to 0.71 t/m. The entity has 11–50 employees, operates from a single manufacturing site, and is positioned as a sustainability-compliant wheat-processing node within a globally significant plant-based ingredients platform.
