The Elixens France team in Drôme has moved into a new 6,000 m2 industrial building on a 3-hectare site on the Eurre ecosite. This site, now the company's headquarters, will enable us to consolidate our industrial and technical development resources, at the heart of our organic and fair trade sector in Dauphiné-Provence.
A total investment of almost €3 million has gone into the acquisition of the building and its refurbishment, thanks to work carried out by Rhône-Alpes companies. Over the second half of 2019, it will enable us to modernize and develop our industrial tools.
On September 13, Elixens France welcomed an inter-governmental delegation led by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe to its new Eurre site.
The company was selected to illustrate the dynamism of the Biovallée region, which won the national TIGA (Territoire d'innovation et de grande ambition) call for projects.
Elixens France presented its privileged partnership in organic farming and fair trade with the Sica Bioplantes cooperative, as well as its essential oil, floral water and dried plant processing activities at its new Eurre site.
The head of government particularly appreciated the scent of peppermint grown less than 30 km from the plant. He also noted the renown of the company's customers for their finished products.
He was accompanied by Drôme's Didier Guillaume, Minister of Agriculture and Food, Jacqueline Gourault, Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities, Emmanuelle Wargon, Secretary of State for Ecological Transition and Solidarity, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Secretary of State to the Minister of the Economy and Finance, and local representatives.
A forerunner in organic farming and fair trade
Elixens France specializes in the production and marketing of essential oils, floral waters, dried plants and plant extracts for professionals. For over 20 years, this family-run company, managed by Jean-Pascal Abdelli BDELLI, has been working in partnership with organic producers of aromatic plants. These methods enable us to meet the growing market demand for natural, ethical and environmentally-friendly products.
