Increasing the production four-fold

The 2,500 square meters new plant is fully automated and will quadruple Nor-Feed’s annual production, which will be able to supply 50 million tons of feed. After the ceremony, the participants had the chance to visit the facilities, where they could see and know more about the new and improved features. One of them is the new patented extraction technology to exploit new botanical sources and make their active compounds bio-available, without using solvent-dependent technologies to complete the extraction.

A more sustainable way of doing business

The facility also runs on renewable energy side by side with electricity. The products have been eco-designed, from manufacturing down to their use, and will use co-products from the agricultural industry.

Other important aspects of the activity are the research and the product registrations. According to Pierre Chicoteau, CEO of Nor-Feed, “In our niche market, what gives value to a product are all the layers of information, identity, security, applications, which like layers of onions, year after year enrich our products and keep them relevant.” Thanks to its EU registration dossiers and the degree of standardization and documentation of our products, Nor-Feed rides the botanicals “wave”, with export sales representing ¾ of sales now, while the French market continues to grow 2 digits.

All these factors contribute to the ambition of replacing synthetic products in animal feed. The company is now engaged in a BCorp certification process to cement its commitment to a more sustainable way of doing business in the years to come.

Chick no. 29 hatched on December 4 at 1:16 p.m., 25 hours and 13 minutes since it first poked its beak and cracked the egg. Seems like a long time, but actually it is the fastest pip-to-hatch record in our breeding program. This chick just couldn’t wait to say hello to the world! 😍

This ownership is fully in line with the strategy of both companies for further international expansion. To reinforce that strategy, the two brands have now chosen to continue their growth ambitions under only one brand name: Palital.

“Palital is a well-known brand name that together with its baseline “Clean growth” will help us realise our growth plans in the coming years. This choice also emphasizes our ambition to integrate the two brands as soon as possible.”, says Guy Janssens, Director Feed Additives & Specialties at Arvesta.

“This means that the Aveve Biochem brand will be integrated into the Palital brand, but we will keep our strong product names like AveMix, well known for 15 years in the market and with a proven track record with our clients & distributors.”

Starting April 1st, ’21 we merged our two sales, marketing and product management organisations together under the Palital umbrella, with headquarters in Velddriel.

How will this affect our clients and distributors?

This integration will allow us to offer a more dedicated service to our customers, with expertise from both the Aveve Biochem and Palital team of experts. Furthermore, we will extend our portfolio with the specialties of Aveve Biochem, with the specialties of Biochem, such as enzymes, medium-chain glycerides and essential oils. This will also benefit our geographic reach, which will allow us to grow better and faster.

Orders can still be placed through your trusted channels, either with your contact person at Palital or Aveve Biochem, or at our offices in Merksem or Velddriel.

We trust that we have sufficiently informed you about these developments. If there are any questions or uncertainties, please do not hesitate to contact your Business Manager or our offices in Merksem or Velddriel.

Kind regards,

The Palital & Aveve Biochem team
