This year, the group deployed an aggressive external growth strategy, concluding several major acquisitions across the globe:
- In November, Ceva made its first entry into India with the acquisition of Polchem. The country is a strategic market for Ceva, especially for poultry production (5th largest global producer) and with significant growing demand for vaccines (+10% per year).
- In December, with the acquisition of two Brazilian companies, Hertape and Inova, Ceva became the 5th largest animal health company in France and aims to become a global specialist in the dairy sector, reinforcing its presence in the ruminant vaccines market.
- The acquisition of Biovac allows Ceva to propose an integrated offering, including autogenous vaccines in the swine and poultry sectors.
- Following the acquisition of iD Projects in July, (via Ecat, a subsidiary company), Ecat-iD was formed and is already showing to be a world leader in smart automation of hatcheries (ranked no. 1 in France and no.2 internationally).
