About us

PHYTEUROP is a leading French manufacturer that develops, approves, formulates, and distributes plant protection products for conventional and organic farming.

PHYTEUROPwas created in 1986 following the merger of an Italian manufacturer and the French agricultural distribution sector represented by SOFAGRI (financial holding company bringing together cooperatives), united by a desire for partnership. As such, farmers are actively represented within the PHYTEUROP; this is a unique situation in the plant production industry.

In 1997, the group strengthened its presence on the French market by acquiring TRADI-AGRI. The group opened up to Europe with the acquisition of MEDOL S.A. (Switzerland) in 2002 and the acquisition of a stake in the German company PLANTAN GmbH in 2003.

Since 2017, PHYTEUROP has been an integral part of the SOFAGRI holding company. This transaction is intended to meet the expectations of farmers who want develop their access to plant protection products with a secure origin of formulation.
