POSITIVE
BY NATURE

It’s our pioneering optimism. The spirit that moves us toward new horizons.

Our vision
True by nature
SCROLL

This is the spirit that, at the very start, combined and focused the energies of a group of cooperative farmers. The outlook that guided us from the very first beet. The one that helped us grow to become a leader in sugar, alcohol and bioethanol in Europe. We remain ever enthusiastic, ever enterprising, nurturing the spirit of progress, while remaining true to our roots and our nature. Optimism is what allows us to adapt, to change, to anticipate uses and challenges, to ceaselessly discover new things in all our market segments and for all our clients.
