About us
Saipol was created in 1983 by Sofiprotéol (which became Avril in 2015) in order to restructure a competitive industrial tool, which is essential for the future of the French oilseed industry.
Saipol is a pillar of the French oilseed industry.
By developing markets for vegetable oils and oil meals, Saipol ensures that rapeseed and sunflower crops provide a fair remuneration to farmers through the sale of their seeds.
A player in the development of Diester biodiesel since the 1990s, Saipol is now developing new solutions and specialities from oilseed, in line with social expectations regarding food and low-carbon energy.
