Date:09-10-2018
DE SANGOSSE recently announced the acquisition of the companies Biologicas Canarias and Biotecnologia del Mediterraneo based in Valcencia (Spain) which are merging to form a new company, Biologica Nature.
Biologicas Canarias and Biotecnologia del Mediterraneo are key players in the field of Biofertilisers and Natural Biostimulants. Both companies have met with success for over 20 years in Spain and several other European countries in developing and marketing a range of specialities using an innovative and specific process based on microorganisms. The benefits of these formulations include improvements in the physiological conditions of plants and an increase in soil fertility. These products are suited for all types of agriculture - conventional, organic and integrated farming. They have been recognised for many years for their excellent performance and meet current and future societal and agronomic expectations. The two companies have developed know-how in the areas of research, development, product registration, production, and quality control through a dedicated laboratory and modern fermentation unit based in Valencia.
Biologicas Canarias and Biotecnologia del Mediterraneo are merging to form a new company, BIOLÓGICA NATURE, which will benefit from the additional resources provided by DE SANGOSSE to continue and improve the development of new products in collaboration with the Group's Research & Development laboratories. DE SANGOSSE's international presence will boost the marketing of the speciality products produced by Biologicas Canarias and Biotecnologia del Mediterraneo.
DE SANGOSSE and the founders of Biologicas Canarias and Biotecnologia del Mediterraneo share the same strategic vision. Their expertise will be a decisive asset in carrying out the project. Carmelo Cabrera Pulido, Francisco Javier Soriano Pons and Emilio Jesús Villanueva have joined the group and will ensure the continuity of operations.
On behalf of Biologicas Canarias and Biotecnologia del Mediterraneo, Carmelo Cabrera Pulido, Francisco Javier Soriano Pons and Emilio Jesús Villanueva state “The signing of this strategic agreement with the DE SANGOSSE group is excellent news for the development of the many projects underway and in the pipeline. Biologicas Canarias and Biotecnologia del Mediterraneo have been growing rapidly and continuously for many years. Technical development, registration and marketing of the product range will be accelerated by integration into the DE SANGOSSE group”.
In the words of Nicolas FILLON, CEO of the DE SANGOSSE group, “Thanks to this operation, DE SANGOSSE, a market leader in the field of Biocontrol and Plant Nutrition, will accelerate its strategic development. This acquisition consolidates the group's growth by providing an innovative portfolio of Biofertilisers and Biostimulants, as well as a production unit and solid expertise in micro-organism-based solutions.
