Grupo Nation (NAT), a biotechnological company specialized in sustainable production of botanical extracts and Omega-3 oils, ended 2024 with historical sales record and Ebitda, thus consolidating its position as One of the leaders in the natural and healthy ingredients industry.
Specifically, the group’s business figure amounted to 35.85 million euros35% more than the previous year. The sale of products contributed the bulk of the income, more than 34.7 million euros, which represents an increase of 52%.
For its part, the standardized Ebitda reached 13.82 million, 47% more than the previous year. However, the net result of 2024 was substantially minorized with respect to the previous year due to the effect of the acquisition of the Omega 3 factory of the IFFE group carried out in the year 2023.
The growth in income and Ebitda was the result of the solid performance of all the group’s business segments, highlighting the Animal Nutrition Divisionthat grew by 121% in 2024, as well as the optimization of operations and the collection of new clients, more than 80 from strategic countries for the company such as Italy, France, Germany and Spain.
For Antonio Delgado, CEO of Nation, “the results obtained in 2024 reflect the strength of our business model and the effectiveness of our growth strategy. We will continue working to consolidate the NATAC leadership position in the sector of the natural ingredients while exploring new opportunities in key markets.”
Main milestones of 2024
In 2024 the company obtained the certificate of GMP quality which allows you to manufacture APIS (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) for the pharmaceutical sector. Thanks to this NACAC certification, it diversifies its product portfolio while expanding its national and international client base, doubleing its target market.
Another prominent milestone was the implementation of the As Somozas Omega 3 Factorythe largest in Spain. A production plant that refines, deodorizes and whites Omega-3 oils from fish and develops innovative ingredients for food, nutraceutical and animal nutrition sectors.
After successfully completing the production tests, the factory began its operations in mid -September. Recently, Innovaoleo, the Division of Omega 3 of Nation, has launched Omega 3 Star a Premium oil that stands out in the market for its neutrality in terms of flavor, smell and color.
Forecasts for 2025 and 2026
Both the manufacture of APIS and Omega 3 will be two important Growth levers for the company that will focus on growing organically by increasing its client portfolio and expansion in high performance markets such as the United Kingdom, Latin America and the Middle East. Although the business plan does not contemplate it, NATION does not close to analyze any corporate operation if the opportunity occurs.
