SBM COMPANY CONTINUES ITS EXPANSION AND STRENGTHENS ITS LEADERSHIP WITH THE ACQUISITION OF SPG
19 August 2021
Ecully, France, August 2, 2021 - SBM enriches its portfolio of solutions for its customers and consumers and completes its offer in the French garden market with the acquisition of the company SPG (Société De Production Grainières).
SBM's objective is to continue to enrich its portfolio of solutions for its customers and consumers, to reinforce its leadership on the French market and to continue to be innovative while keeping in its DNA the family values that drive it.
SPG, a historical player in the vegetable and flower seeds segment, markets well-known brands such as Caillard, Le Paysan and La Semeuse.
The company is also a precursor in the development of an offer focused on biodiversity and has been distributing an innovative and eco-responsible anti-mosquito solution since 2019 exclusively through the Biogents brand.
Alexandre Simmler, Managing Director of SBM Life Science, says "I would like to salute the commitment of Hugo Plan and his teams, which has enabled us to develop a company with family and entrepreneurial values that are dear to SBM. SPG offers products adapted to the new needs of consumers: vegetable and flower seeds, biodiversity, mosquito control. We are happy to welcome the teams and to make these ranges fruitful for all our partners and customers".
This agreement was concluded between SOPEX, the owner of SPG (Société de Production Grainière) and SBM is effective as of August 1st, 2021. As part of its integration within the SBM group, SPG will continue to operate as an autonomous business line.
SOPEX would like to thank all the SPG teams and its management for the action carried out together in the recovery of the company during the last 5 years, which allowed us to regain an essential financial balance and above all, strong development axes for the future. We are pleased to hand over the torch to SBM, with whom we share the same corporate values, and wish them every success in the continued deployment of SPG.
