Saipol and Agroinvest strengthen their strategic partnership to boost the oilseed sector in the Mediterranean

This partnership builds on the key strengths of both companies: Saipol’s international exposure to upstream and downstream markets, and Agroinvest’s industrial know-how, agility, and strategic location in the Mediterranean Sea.

With this model – complementary to the processing of oilseeds at French sites – Saipol and Agroinvest provide solutions to the growing demand for protein-rich meals and low-carbon vegetal oil in the Mediterranean markets.

This collaboration also contributes to rebalancing the trade of protein-rich meals within Europe, at a time when the Mediterranean region lacks sufficient industrial capacity to meet rising demand.

Beyond the strong relationship between the two companies, this partnership also reflects shared values and commitments towards sustainability at the core of the relationship of trust between Agroinvest and Saipol, leading to a pooling of expertise and strengthened organizations.

Jean-Philippe Penet, Trading & Commercial Director at Saipol, explains: “This long-term partnership meets our development goals in the region thanks to a trusted partner, while meeting our operational & commercial excellence requirements.”

Ioannis Vogiatzis, Chairman of the Board at Agroinvest, adds: “It reflects our shared commitment to sustainable growth and high performance. Together, we’re creating value while advancing operational excellence and supporting our vision of long-term development goals.”
