With over 90 years of experience and know-how in the oils and fats industry, OLVEA is a leading supplier of vegetable and Omega fish oils.

Founded in 1929 in Normandy (France), the initial business of this family-owned Group was to trade cod liver oils in connection with the activity of the fishing port of Fécamp. Today, the OLVEA Group employs more than 300 people worldwide, with more than 60,000 tons of oils sold per year.

OLVEA’s annual growth rate is 10% with a sales turnover of 200 million euros and an investment of more than €40 million over the past 5 years, including new production plants, refining and storage capacities compliant with the current health and environment regulations.

OLVEA grows continuously through its 2 business units:

• Omega Fish oils used into sectors such as food, dietary supplements, infant nutrition, aquafeed, petfood and technical applications;
• Vegetable oils and specialty ingredients used by the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries.

Recently, OLVEA has inaugurated OLVEA Green Technologies, one of Europe’s first green and eco-design refining plant for vegetable and Omega fish oils.

OLVEA has taken decisive steps forward by defining its 2025 strategy, which places Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) issues at the heart of our concerns.

Simultaneously, the CSR ambition for 2029 has been defined in collaboration with the members of the COMEX (Executive Committee) to ensure consistency and alignment of the company’s management.

We have also involved all our employees in the implementation of our CSR policy, through co-construction workshops. On a day-to-day basis, a dedicated team oversees this action plan in collaboration with fifteen action managers who actively contribute to the annual reporting.

This global, participative approach is at the heart of our CSR approach: it guarantees the strong implication of all our teams, and enables us to pursue a responsible and ambitious project for the future.
