TIMAC AGRO France

What TIMAC AGRO France does

TIMAC AGRO France is an industrial and commercial subsidiary of the family-owned Groupe Roullier, headquartered in Saint-Malo and operating exclusively in the French market since its founding in 1959. The company manufactures and distributes a full portfolio of plant nutrition (fertilizers, biostimulants, soil activators, organic amendments) and animal production (health, growth, feed efficiency, bedding hygiene, effluent management) solutions, organized around proprietary technology families including TOP-PHOS phosphate technology, SEACTIV biostimulants, GENAKTIS photosynthesis-stimulating biostimulant, and the newly launched ONE NUTRIOME integrated nutrition range. Product development is anchored by Groupe Roullier's Centre Mondial de l'Innovation and more than 200 scientific partnerships worldwide.

The company employs 800-900 staff across France, including a commercial field force of more than 400 Attachés Technico-Commerciaux (ATCs) operating from 43 regional directions and visiting roughly 2,000 farms daily to deliver personalized soil analysis, crop and livestock diagnostics, and tailored nutrition plans. Manufacturing occurs across 7 industrial sites in Saint-Malo, Tréport, Pontrieux, Tonnay-Charente, Tarnos, and Sète, providing domestic production flexibility and supply-chain proximity.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales to farmers, executed via two channels: direct field-sales advisory by ATCs and indirect distribution through agricultural cooperatives, dairy companies, and traders. Pricing is established individually through technical consultation rather than public list prices. Customer segments span arable farming (primary), mixed crop-livestock, viticulture, arboriculture, and market gardening. Recent strategic activity includes the 2025 launch of ONE NUTRIOME, expansion into viticulture through a 2026 partnership with Vignerons Indépendants, the Kaoris biostimulant launch in 2026, and the November 2025 appointment of Maxime Godart as Director General.
