Nutréa

What Nutréa does

Nutréa (Nutréa NNA SAS) is a French animal nutrition company headquartered in Languidic, Brittany, that manufactures and distributes multi-species feed products — covering ruminants, pigs, poultry, horses, pets, and game — to more than 3,000 farmer customers across the region. Founded in 2010, the company commercializes approximately 500,000 tonnes of feed per year, operates an in-house hatchery producing over 50 million chicks annually, and runs downstream egg commercialization through the Univol producer organization. The portfolio spans 13+ branded sub-products built on proprietary formulations incorporating essential oils, plant extracts, and yeast-based additives, and includes specialized lines such as Follium AP, Viva, and Doxxa robot-milking feeds. The company's FY2023-2024 revenue is approximately €250 million with around 210 employees.

The business model combines direct technical sales to farmers with retail distribution through approximately 150 outlets for the Everland (pet) and Royal Horse (equine) brands, supplemented by the integrated Univol channel. Pricing is tied to commodity-input cost formulas and species-specific formulations. Nutréa operates proprietary digital decision-support tools (Simul Box, Truie Box, Effibox, ID Porc, Logiform) used by farmer customers, and runs an in-house NIR laboratory for raw-material analysis. Quality and regulatory positioning is supported by ISO 9001, RCNA, STNO, STNE, and SNA certifications, and the company was recognized at Innov'Space in 2011. Logistics are partly internalized through the Vialim joint venture established in 2016. Strategic capacity investment has totaled roughly €35 million over 2010-2023, with recent modernization of the Plouisy production site representing the most significant capex commitment.

Scale indicators16 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Lallemand Animal Nutrition: Global leader in yeast and microbial-based animal nutrition products, supplying feed additives and specialty solutions to feed manufacturers. Comparable to Nutréa's Follium Energie yeast-wall technology and Akkor range, but operating as a supplier/specialty player rather than integrated feed manufacturer.
• Phileo by Lesaffre: Animal nutrition and health business of Lesaffre focused on yeast-based probiotics, functional ingredients, and feed solutions. Comparable to Nutréa's yeast-based Follium Energie and essential-oil specialty additives, though operating as a specialty ingredient supplier rather than integrated feed manufacturer.

Direct peers

• Cooperl: French agricultural cooperative focused on pork, with significant feed manufacturing for member farmers and integrated pig production. Comparable to Nutréa's pig feed portfolio (Priméa, Loréa, Gestéa, Matéa) and producer-organization model similar to Univol.
• Sanders (Avril Group): French animal nutrition leader within the Avril agricultural cooperative, manufacturing livestock feed across multiple species and operating nationally. Directly comparable to Nutréa in feed portfolio breadth and farmer-customer focus, but with larger national footprint and greater procurement scale.
• Terrena (La Nouvelle Agriculture): French multi-sector agricultural cooperative with feed production, poultry, and livestock operations including a farmer organization model analogous to Univol. Comparable to Nutréa across ruminant, pig, and poultry feed with similar cooperative-style distribution.
• CCPA Group: French independent animal nutrition company specializing in feed additives, premixes, and specialty nutritional solutions for livestock producers across Europe. Closely comparable to Nutréa's Follium/Hexxa essential-oil and specialty feed range and similar mid-market positioning.

Regional players

• Royal Canin (Mars Petcare): French-headquartered global pet food manufacturer with strong nutritional specialization. Comparable to Nutréa's Everland/Nutrio pet food line in target market and French origin, though Royal Canin operates at dramatically greater scale and global reach.

Broad incumbents

• ADM Animal Nutrition (formerly Neovia): Global animal nutrition platform following ADM's acquisition of Neovia (which integrated Evialis and Inzo). Comparable to Nutréa's compound feed and premix offerings but with global scale, multi-country presence, and substantially larger R&D and procurement capabilities.
• InVivo Animal Nutrition (Nealia): Animal nutrition arm of France's leading agricultural cooperative InVivo, producing compound feed, premixes, and specialty nutritional solutions for livestock. Comparable to Nutréa's multi-species, multi-format approach with significantly greater scale and procurement leverage.
• LDC (Lamotte): France's largest poultry integrator spanning hatchery, feed, farming, and processing, with deep Breton roots. Comparable to Nutréa's vertically integrated poultry operations (hatchery, Univol, marketing) but at much larger scale and with slaughter/processing integration that Nutréa lacks.
