Wamine

What Wamine does

Wamine is the dedicated animal health division of Groupe PiLeJe, a French diversified health group with 25 years of expertise in phytotherapy and micronutrition. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Orée d'Anjou, France, Wamine develops and markets natural complementary health products for companion animals (dogs, cats, horses, and NAC/exotic pets). Its core technology is the proprietary Phytostandard® extraction process, which produces 55 standardized fresh plant extracts (EPS — Extraits de Plantes Standardis\u00e9es) used as MPUP-grade (Matières Premières à Usage Pharmaceutique) raw materials in individualized veterinary magistral preparations. The portfolio also includes 19 complementary food and topical product references spanning microbiota support (Floréquilibre line for pets and equines), digestive health (Perméabilité, Confort Digestif, Gastrimild), joint comfort (Doloflamil gel and tablets), behavioral balance (Sérénité), and immune/stress support (Vitalité, Proteostress), with sub-brand extensions under the Phyto'Twin dual-plant extract range.

Wamine operates a B2B prescription-mediated go-to-market model. Products are sold exclusively through licensed veterinarians, who prescribe them to pet owners; distribution is channeled through three major French veterinary purchasing cooperatives (Alcyon, Centravet, Coveto), with regional distributors Prophac (Luxembourg) and Prolinéa (New Caledonia). Veterinarians must create professional accounts on wamine.fr to access pricing, technical documentation, and training resources. The company invests heavily in veterinary continuing education — free webinars, clinical case workshops, webconferences, partnerships with veterinary schools and AFVAC congresses — to drive adoption and prescriber loyalty. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of magistral EPS raw materials to veterinarians and recurring sales of complementary animal foods through cooperative channels. The firm employs 1-10 staff, operates as a privately held subsidiary of PiLeJe Groupe, and does not publicly disclose revenue or pricing.
