Human nutrition

Thanks to successful brands, Sofiprotéol’s edible oils, dressings, and condiments business is growing. The Group is building on complementary relationships among markets and increasing its visibility among the general public.

A new strategic presence for the Group

Sofiprotéol aims to be involved in all aspects of the oilseed industry. For that reason, the Group began marketing oils to consumers. Its presence in this essential link in the industry’s value chain has important implications for all industry players.

Sofiprotéol entered this business through a series of major acquisitions :

• 2003 purchase of Lesieur, the French leader in edible vegetable oils, and its flagship brands (Lesieur, Isio, and Fruit d’Or),
• 2004 purchase of Puget, the French leader in olive oil,
• 2008 acquisition of Générale Condimentaire, which specializes in the production and sale of dressings and mayonnaises.

Human nutrition, a Group priority

Sofiprotéol’s acquisition of the Générale Condimentaire Group is an important step that will :

• guarantee a market for edible oils in the form of processed products,
• supplement the Lesieur product line,
• strengthen the Group’s exports.

Thanks to a portfolio of successful brands, Sofiprotéol is now a key player in the agribusiness sector. This drive to make human nutrition Sofiprotéol’s core business is consistent with farmers’ primary mission to feed humanity.
