Our capabilities and resources
Our grain and oilseeds trading activities are located in Nantes. Our facilities in Saint-Nazaire and Montoir-de-Bretagne process sunflower and rapeseed crop into oils for foods and industrial applications.
Rapeseed meal is a by-product of our crushing operations at Montoir-de-Bretagne. This meal, which is high in vegetable protein, is sold into the animal feed market.
