For several years, the Group has been pursuing a policy of steady external growth, notably on the international scale. It is founded on the systematic search for companies which allow the Group to reinforce its various business lines, in geographic locations defined as priority areas.
Some examples of last acquisitions
- Take over of the fertiliser branch of the Donau Chemie group, with the purchase of the Pischelsdorf factory which produces 220,000 tons of granulated fertilisers per year.
- Purchase of the Profertil company from the Brazilian group Lyra, with a production capacity of 450,000 tons per year, which will allow the Group to strengthen its presence in Brazil and to reinforce its positions on the largest market in Latin America. |

The Group examines
all opportunities which may fit into its development policy, in
Agricultural supplies, as well as in Agro-chemicals or in its Food
activities, General public or Marine technologies.
It will give preference to companies:
- of medium size (10 to 100 M€ of revenues),
- which dispose of industrial assets and/or a commercial
network and/or a valuable base of customers,
- which benefit from elements which differentiate them
from their competitive environment,
- lead by teams which wish to and are capable of pursuing
their mission within the Roullier group,
- located in Europe or on the American continent.
Nevertheless, the Group does not exclude the possibility
of taking interest in situations which do not meet these criteria, but which
present specific strategic interest.
