France · Family-owned (Roquette Frères)
Roquette, whose full company name is Roquette Frères, is a French family-owned group that converts plant-based raw materials into ingredients. It describes itself as a provider of plant-based ingredients, excipients and solutions for food, health and bio-based industrial products, with one family providing stable governance. Alongside food and nutrition it runs a substantial pharmaceutical excipients business, and its research centres on the functionality of proteins, fibres, starches and other ingredients made from biomass.
For agriculture, Roquette is a processor that turns crops into higher-value ingredients, and its products also come back to farms as animal nutrition ingredients. Food manufacturers use lines such as NUTRALYS proteins and NUTRIOSE fibres to adjust protein, fibre and texture in their products. Because performance depends on the recipe, buyers judge an ingredient in the finished product, looking at flavour, solubility, texture and processing conditions, together with label declarations, quality documentation and the origin of raw materials.
Size of the business
Roquette's group turnover was approximately EUR 4.9 billion in 2025, covering food, nutrition, bioindustry and pharmaceutical activities rather than food processing alone.
What does Roquette offer?
Roquette offers NUTRALYS proteins, NUTRIOSE fibres, starches and derivatives, animal nutrition ingredients and pharmaceutical excipients.
How should a buyer make contact?
