Valorex, headquartered in Combourtillé, France, is a pioneering manufacturer and innovator in the processing of oilseeds and protein-rich plants, with a mission to enhance both animal and human nutrition through its patented extrusion technology. With over 30 years of experience, Valorex is a European leader in omega-3 enrichment and sustainable feed solutions that contribute to health, product quality, and environmental performance.

Core Business and Product Portfolio

Valorex operates across two primary domains: animal nutrition and human nutrition, offering high-value, extruded ingredients derived from linseed, pulses, and other oilseeds.

• Animal Nutrition:

  • TRADILIN®: A flagship extruded linseed product rich in omega-3 fatty acids, used for ruminants, monogastrics, and poultry
  • EXTRUALIN®: For dairy cattle, improving milk quality (omega-3 content, CLA) and herd performance
  • OMEGAVAL®: Designed for swine and poultry to enhance meat and egg nutritional profiles
  • EXTRUFAB®: Combination of faba beans and linseed, used as a high-protein, non-GMO feed

• Human Nutrition:

  • Nutritional ingredients derived from extruded oilseeds (linseed, soy, chickpeas, etc.)
  • Application in bakery, sports nutrition, functional foods, and health supplements

Valorex’s products are tailored to improve animal product quality (milk, meat, eggs), contribute to human health, and reduce environmental impacts through methane reduction and nitrogen efficiency.

Specialization and Core Strengths

Valorex’s success is built on its patented extrusion-cooking technology, which increases the digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients in seeds and legumes. Its core strengths include:

• Scientific Validation: Over 30 research collaborations and 100+ peer-reviewed studies on animal performance, product enrichment, and environmental impact
• Carbon-Footprint Reductions: Products support lower methane emissions and better nitrogen utilization, backed by Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
• Patent Portfolio: Multiple patents on thermal-mechanical treatment of oilseeds
• Traceability and Local Sourcing: Works closely with over 3,000 French farmers under certified production chains (e.g., Bleu-Blanc-Cœur)

Valorex’s approach to value creation extends beyond nutrition, integrating sustainability, traceability, and health impacts in its product lifecycle.
