Operational Developments
Sales performance was positive across the Americas, Asia, and Europe. However, the India, Middle East, and Africa segment saw a levelling off after the performance in 2024.
Growth was recorded in several product categories, including phytogenics, acid-based eubiotics, mycotoxin binders, and omega products, with an emphasis on higher value-add versions. The contribution of Bio-Vet Inc supported margin gains, and the integration process continues with a combined management structure in the United States.
pHorce®, a product targeting the swine market in the US, recorded notable growth as customers adopted it for both feed hygiene and animal performance benefits.
Outlook
Anpario noted a positive start to the second half of the year, with sales momentum continuing from the first six months. The Group will continue integrating Bio-Vet, including rebranding and launching key product brands across distribution networks.
Subsidiaries are being established in certain Central American countries to enhance customer engagement, while new product launches and established brands support the company’s positioning in natural and sustainable feed additive solutions.
The Board expressed confidence in the company’s long-term profitable development, citing its established market position and continued product innovation.
