InVivo NSA was born from the merger of InVivo’s Animal Nutrition and Health Division and the Evialis Group.
InVivo, the leading French agricultural cooperative group, announces the creation of a new company called InVivo NSA (Nutrition et Santé Animales) combining the businesses of the Animal Nutrition and Health (ANH) division of InVivo and Evialis, two firms with more than 50 years’ experience in animal nutrition.
InVivo NSA will be operational starting 1 January 2010. The new company is being formed two years after InVivo’s friendly takeover of Evialis, its acquisition of all Evialis shares and Evialis’ withdrawal from the stock market last June.
With a turnover of some €1.4 billion and 5,000 employees around the world, the company is focused on three main areas of animal nutrition: Compound Feeds, Premix and Specialties, and Health and Hygiene, which account for 66%, 24% and 10% of turnover respectively.
Each of the entities and subsidiaries within InVivo NSA will retain their own brand identity. The identity of InVivo NSA will be expressed essentially at a corporate level.
InVivo NSA is pursuing a long-term business vision. Already strongly placed in the French market where it generates 61% of turnover, the company is moving increasingly into the international arena in search of growth.
