What SYNETICS does
SYNETICS is a European farmer-owned cooperative that supplies bovine and goat genetics to dairy and beef producers across Europe, North America and other export markets. Formed in January 2023 through the merger of France's INNOVAL and Germany's MASTERRIND, the cooperative is headquartered in Noyal-sur-Vilaine, France, with German operations registered as SYNETICS eG (formerly ARCOWIN eG) in Oldenburg and field offices in Bad Zwischenahn and Verden. Its portfolio spans 20 breeds including Holstein, Normande, Brown Swiss, Jersey, Fleckvieh, and goat breeds (Alpine, Saanen, Boer), with breeding values published across the major international evaluation bases (ISU, RZG, TPI, JPI, GZW). Production is anchored at the Saint-Aubin semen production site in France, where sexed semen is produced in collaboration with Sexing Technologies.
The company's core product set consists of genetic material (conventional and sexed semen) sold by the dose, the proprietary FERTIMAX fertility booster, genomic selection services (herd genotyping from birth), and consultant-led mating programs. FERTIMAX is positioned around an empirically demonstrated 8 percentage-point lift in non-return-rate and was launched globally in August 2024 after seven years of R&D. Capgènes is the primary technology partner for goat genetics, providing access to Alpine and Saanen lines from a 6,000-breeder network. SYNETICS publishes bull proof runs on a triannual cadence (April, August, December), issues an online bull search platform (d.synetics.world), and maintains downloadable dairy, beef-on-dairy and goat catalogues.
Revenue is generated through two streams: (1) sale of bovine and goat semen (conventional and sexed) by dose, distributed via affiliated cooperatives — INNOVAL, MASTERRIND, AURIVA, UALC, GENIATEST in France and Germany, plus INTERGEN in Poland and Passion4Goats in the Netherlands; and (2) professional services for genomic breeding-value analysis, herd genotyping, and mating-program consulting. Export sales are handled directly through SYNETICS Export (France) and SYNETICS Export Germany (in formation). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are routed through sales representatives and cooperative distribution partners. Governance is farmer-owned through the cooperative structure, with a board chaired by Patrice Guiguian and day-to-day executive leadership shared between Co-CEOs Alfred Weidele and Jean-Yves Dreau since January 2025.
