Sofiprotéol reorganizes biodiesel activities to improve competitiveness

July 9, 2013 |

In France, Sofiprotéol presented plans for reorganization of its biodiesel production activities in France, designed to improve competitiveness while preserving jobs. These plans provide for the closure of two esterification units and one crushing unit, and the merger of two subsidiaries, Diester Industrie and Saipol. The unfavorable context of the biofuels market (e.g., a drop in the incorporation rate, changes to the European Renewable Energy Directive, massive imports) has led to the reorganization of activities of Diester Industrie and Saipol within Sofiprotéol.
