Eurolysine, the sole lysine producer located in the European Union, is pleased to announce the launch of a feasibility study aimed at increasing its lysine production capacity. This initiative reflects Eurolysine’s commitment to strengthening the EU’s sovereignty in essential amino acids for animal nutrition while responding to the growing demand for sustainable and locally produced feed ingredients.
“Avril took over Eurolysine less than a year ago and we announced an investment plan of 130 million euros over the next five years to develop production. This investment plan has already begun and lysine production already increased significantly over the recent months. The plant will reach full speed production in Q3 2025. The study which is now launched opens a new chapter looking beyond the restauration of Eurolysine’s historical production capacity. The relaunch of Eurolysine illustrates the Avril’s determination to promote European agricultural and industrial sovereignty”, said Jean-Philippe Puig CEO of Avril.
“With this new project, we are talking about a 20% increase in production capacity at the 2027 horizon. As the only lysine producer in the EU, Eurolysine plays a strategic role in supporting the European feed industry. This feasibility study will allow us to explore innovative solutions to scale up our production capacity while maintaining our high standards of quality, efficiency, and sustainability. The decision to proceed will be taken on the basis on the outcome of this feasibility study, as well as market conditions”, said Eddy Feijen, CEO of Eurolysine.
