Adisseo, a global leader in animal nutrition, announced that it has acquired Nutriad, a manufacturer of feed additives for more than 50 years. Companies expressed that this move will accelerate their success and expand their distribution network.

Nutriad, a Belgian multinational company operates 4 laboratories and 5 plants located in Belgium, Spain, the UK, China and the USA with annual gross sales of US$100 million.

Commenting on the acquisition, Jean-Marc Dublanc, CEO of Adisseo, said: “Today we are thrilled to welcome the Nutriad team. We look forward to welcoming the Nutriad employees with their great knowledge. The acquisition of Nutriad supports our ambition for accelerating growth of our business.
