Circular Economy Akiolis operates at the heart of circular economy principles, turning animal by-products into high-value ingredients. This positions them as a sustainability-focused supplier with opportunities to pitch value-added processing partnerships, waste-to-resource collaborations, and zero-waste supply chain solutions.

Industry Diversification With multiple brands across pet nutrition, aquafeed, animal nutrition, organic fertilisers, oleochemistry, biofuels and bioenergies, Akiolis serves diverse end-markets. This creates cross-selling potential for customers seeking integrated sustainability and nutrition solutions across animal health, agriculture, and energy sectors.

Sustainability Leverage Their emphasis on environmentally responsible collection and protection services (including Atemax) signals opportunities to offer enhanced environmental compliance tools, traceability platforms, and ESG-focused contract manufacturing for clients prioritizing responsible sourcing.

Growth Capacity Operating 12 factories and 48 collection/transfers centers with a 1000-strong workforce indicates scalable production and logistics capacity. Sales plays can target growing food, feed, and bioproducts customers needing reliable, compliant supply with expansion-ready capabilities.

There is an opportunity to position co-branded, group-backed solutions, financing options, and cross-sell across Tessenderlo’s global footprint to accelerate market entry and project financing.
