SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PARTNER

HUMAN NUTRITION - A CRUCIAL CHALLENGE

FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW

To meet the challenges of a growing worldwide population, we need agricultural

production that is nutritious, diversified and efficient. This can only be achievable if we

produce more and in a sustainable way.

Agro-supplies make a crucial contribution to this new food reality by providing farms

with solutions to increase yields and get the most from their land and new crops.

By paying close attention to the needs of plants and soil and ensuring they are continually

in balance, we are working towards abundant, healthy crops.

Livestock must also have their health needs properly managed; this requirement is

highlighted by the quality demands placed on agribusiness, reflecting today’s consumer

industry.

TIMAC AGRO, FROM SAINT-MALO TO INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS: A SUCCESS STORY

Founded by Daniel Roullier, Timac started out in 1959 on the docks of Saint-Malo (in France) as a supplier of marine limestone, a substance used since the dawn of time by the region’s farmers as a soil conditioner. This marked the start of the Roullier Group’s adventure in Agro-supplies.

Over the years, the group developed ambitiously by acquiring new companies within the agricultural sector. The business model was new, focusing on supporting and advising customers on their specific needs. In order to increase its strength, the Agro-supplies business broadened and improved the range of solutions it sold. It concentrated on all forms of ecosystem-based fertilization (solid, liquid and water soluble) and animal feed.

The business growth dynamic took on a new dimension when the Group began to expand internationally. In line with market expectations, the Group gradually extended to establish production facilities around Western and Eastern Europe, then in South America.

This approach made the Roullier Group a leader in the technical fertilizers market, supported by a network of subsidiaries, established in 42 countries. These agro-supplies businesses are now mainly grouped under the Timac Agro banner, sharing the common values of innovation, proximity to customers and responsiveness that built the success of their model.

TARGETED GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION

Timac Agro has a duty to meet the continual need for innovation and responsiveness in our markets; the strategic geographical location of each production facility makes this possible.

The plants were located with geographical proximity in mind, not only to farms, but also to raw material extraction sites.This helps Timac Agro optimize logistical flows and their associated costs.

The diversity of our range (soil conditioners, powdered and granular technical fertilizers, biostimulants, etc.) requires an industrial structure and expertise that has been developed in our 49 industrial facilities.

The flexibility of our organization and industrial processes enables us to manufacture 200 different products and demonstrates our ability to change and adapt.

As an example, in 2011, all our industrial facilities were fitted with an innovative technology enabling more efficient granulation of nitrogenous fertilizers (N, NP, NK).

Our model leads to improved product quality, productivity gains, energy savings and easier operations.
