Nor-Feed, a global specialist in the development, manufacturing and marketing of plant-based extracts for animal nutrition and health, part of the Adisseo group, has appointed Nicolas Tessier as its new general manager, effective March 1. He succeeds Olivier Clech, who will transition to a non-executive position on the company’s board of directors.
Tessier joined Nor-Feed in 2009 and has since held numerous roles across the organization. Over the past years, he has contributed to the company’s growth and operational excellence through responsibilities in research and innovation, manufacturing, purchasing and sales. His cross-functional experience and deep knowledge of Nor-Feed’s activities position him strongly to lead the company into its next phase of development within Adisseo.
Clech has co-led and then led Nor-Feed for the past 14 years, playing a key role in strengthening the company’s market presence and international expansion with solutions to offset oxidative stress or manage coccidial risk in particular. In his new non-executive capacity on the board, he will continue to support Nor-Feed’s long-term strategy and governance.
Founded in Angers, France, Nor-Feed designs, manufactures and markets plant-based specialty ingredients and plant extracts for animal nutrition and health, serving clients across the globe with scientifically validated, natural solutions that limit the use of antibiotics, coccidiostats and pesticides.
“Nor-Feed has built a fantastic reputation for innovation and quality in plant-based solutions for animal nutrition and health,” said Frédéric Jacquin, Adisseo chief operating officer. “We are confident that Nicolas Tessier’s leadership, experience, and vision will further accelerate the development of botanicals solutions within Adisseo.”
