Avril acquires rapeseed processing facility from Valtris

July 8, 2025 |

In France, Avril and Valtris announce the signing of an exclusivity agreement for Avril’s proposed acquisition of an industrial facility located in Baleycourt (Meuse, Grand Est region), specialized in rapeseed crushing, refining, and biodiesel production. Located in the heart of one of France’s main rapeseed-growing regions, the plant processes approximately 400,000 tons of seeds per year.

Avril’s acquisition of this facility—whose activities lie at the heart of its core business and whose geographic location is highly complementary—will help secure its development, in a context of increasing consolidation among major European competitors. Valtris will continue to operate its specialty chemical production that is co-located at the same site. This project remains subject to consultation with the relevant employee representative bodies and approval from the competent competition authorities.
