Nutreco N.V.

Nutreco is a global animal nutrition and fish feed company, inspired by consumer demands, aiming to create value by serving modern agriculture and aquaculture industries with sustainable and high-quality feeds and feed ingredients.

Nutreco, one of the largest multinational companies in the food and agriculture sector, was originally part of the British Petroleum Company's nutrition businesses.

It was founded in 1994 as a consequence of a Management Buy-Out of the main BP Nutrition businesses, and in June 1997, Nutreco N.V. shares were floated on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. It is currently quoted on the Amsterdam Midkap and Euronext 150 Indexes.

Although its history is relatively short, the origins of some of its component companies date back more than a century, through their main offices in Amersfoort (Holland). Nutreco employs almost 9,300 people in 30 countries, with commercial activities in 80 countries, and owns Research and Development centres and labs distributed throughout the world.

Nutreco’s main activities are concentrated in the production and supply of compound feed for animal nutrition and fish feed, as well as feed specialities.

Nutreco participates in strategic stages of the value chains in meat production.

Nutreco is a leader producer of poultry and pigs. High value ingredients and essential nutrients are produced in its premix facilities, which enjoy the reliability of feed producers of all the European countries, of the USA and of many other countries in the world. Nutreco owns feed factories throughout Europe and is an important transformer of agriculture products into compound feed for poultry, swine, ruminant and many other animal species.

Nutreco has enjoyed a strong growth rhythm from the moment it was founded, acquiring important companies in the food and agriculture and aquaculture sectors in many countries of the world. The reason for this growth has always been the improvement of its capacity to supply products and provide services that respond to consumers’ preferences and concerns and to provide its customers with everything they need for success.

Nutreco is part of the industry that feeds the world. It has a wide-ranging geographical scope, and its diversified business and product portfolios make it less vulnerable to the inherent risks of the food and agriculture sector. Its capacity to transfer techniques and know-how to other markets, regions and species, constitutes Nutreco's competitive advantage.
