Norel appoints new agent in France

Spanish additives and raw material for animal feed supplier Norel has appointed the company Erebus as its new agent for the French market.

Based in Saint Malo, in the heart of the Brittany region, Erebus is managed by Jacky Marchand, who has extensive experience on the market. He has been working in the premix and feed industries, and also has been distributing feed additives such as flavours or organic minerals for several years.

France is one of the main markets for animal production in Europe, and Brittany is the major region in the country. The peninsula covers only 6% of the country total area, but it produces more than 60% of the pigs (about 14 million per year), 35% of poultry meat and 43% of the eggs.

Moreover, about 15% of France's beef cattle and 20% of milk are produced in this area.
