Parquest et al. carve out Sopral from Avril Group

Parquest has become the majority shareholder of the business, investing alongside its current management team. In addition, Idia Capital Investissement, Agro Invest and Unexo now hold minority stakes in the business.

Sopral had been an Avril subsidiary since 2010. Avril became a minority shareholder in Sopral via its finance and development company Sofiproteol, and will therefore continue to support the future development of the company.

Company
Founded in 1957, Sopral is specialised in the formulation, production and sale in around 50 countries of nutritional products for dogs, cats and horses. It operates two production units in Pléchâtel and administrative offices in Pont-Réan.
