NEWS 96 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2025 Difagri announced that, through its holding company Bharal Developpement, the group is finalizing the acquisition of Alinova, a historic step with significant leverage for both entities. The news follows Difagri’s acquisition of Neofeed in 2024, which reportedly provided the group with a top-tier technical and innovation department. Difagri already represents a key player in feed supplements and specialties, particularly for ruminants. Following the execution of the strategic plan established in 2023, the company draws attention to this important structural progression as marking an acceleration of the project with numerous immediate synergies. Alinova is an expert in emulsions and monogastric specialties, with development kinetics highly aligned with the Difagri project. The combination of the two entities thus creates an agile and robust leader in feed supplements & specialties, according to the statement. “This is a synergistic operation carried out with the aim of supporting our growth. The two companies are highly complementary and embodied by shared values. Beyond allowing us to open up new product development opportunities, we are strengthening our industrial base with the added capacity provided by a spacious and flexible Alinova production site. We are now also autonomous in the highly concentrated emulsions and liquid mixes, which represent one of Alinova’s recognized fields of expertise,” comments Cédric de Boulogne, CEO of Difagri.
