METEX Nøøvista

METEX NØØVISTA, a subsidiary of METabolic EXplorer, specializes in the development, production, and marketing of functional ingredients derived from fermentation for the animal nutrition market. The company was established following METabolic EXplorer's acquisition of Ajinomoto Animal Nutrition Europe's amino acid production facility in Amiens, France, a transaction completed in 2021. This strategic acquisition integrated a leading European production site for amino acids into METEX's portfolio, transforming it into a major player in this sector.

The core of METEX NØØVISTA's business is producing and selling essential amino acids, such as Lysine, Threonine, and Valine, which are vital components in animal feed, particularly for poultry and swine. The company leverages its advanced fermentation technology to create these ingredients, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional production methods. Its business model is centered on B2B sales to animal feed manufacturers and distributors across Europe and globally. The company also has a strong focus on research and development, aiming to expand its range of functional ingredients and create new solutions for animal health and nutrition. For example, they offer solutions like inoLa, a combination of functional ingredients designed to enhance gut health and performance in piglets and poultry.

The Amiens facility, now operated by METEX NØØVISTA, has a significant production capacity, enabling the company to be the first and only European producer of all essential amino acids for animal feed. This positioning allows it to address the growing demand for local, traceable, and sustainable feed ingredients. The company is led by General Manager Léa O'Brien.
