Proximity is a strategic choice. Yesterday, Oleon opened its first #esterification facility in the United States, at its Conroe site in Texas. Through this investment, the Group strengthens its industrial footprint in North America and continues the international expansion of its #RenewableChemistry activities. The new facility enables the local production of specialty #esters for North American markets and complements the blending, filling, warehousing and logistics activities already established at the site in 2023.

There's chemistry in your soap, and not just any kind: renewable chemistry! What you probably don't realise is that it all starts with a seed, grown by a farmer.
To lather and cleanse, soap needs surfactants, molecules that allow water to interact with oils and fats. These molecules are made from vegetable oils, extracted for example from rapeseed and sunflower seeds. That is precisely what Oleon does. As Avril's subsidiary and Europe's leader in oleochemistry, Oleon turns agricultural resources into raw materials for the cosmetics and personal care industries.
One seed. One oil. One bio-based, renewable, biodegradable molecule. And behind your morning shower, an entire farming value chain.
🎀 Pink October at Avril: coming together to support cancer research 🎀
From October 5 to 9, Avril teams around the world came together to raise awareness about cancer prevention and support research alongside the Fondation ARC.
A webinar led by a Fondation ARC scientific outreach specialist gave employees a better understanding of the latest research advances and the impact of donations.
On October 8, our “All in Pink” day brought employees together for a charity photo challenge: for every person appearing in a shared photo, Avril made a donation to the Fondation ARC.
The commitment continues throughout the month, with nearly 200 employees taking part in the Connected Roses Triathlon through October 31.
Thank you to everyone helping advance cancer research.

Investing in our industrial assets means investing in the future of our value chains.
At Avril, our investments are about more than expanding production capacity. They also strengthen our competitiveness, enhance our industrial performance and accelerate the agricultural, food and environmental transitions.
In 2025, the Group continued this momentum by modernizing several of its sites in France and internationally. Each project reflects the same ambition: to operate industrial assets that are more efficient, more sustainable and better aligned with the needs of our customers and the communities where we operate.
Because modern industrial assets are essential to creating long-term value, supporting resilient value chains and preparing for the markets of tomorrow.
