Market Position/ History

Groupe Roullier was established in 1959 following the acquisition of its first crushing plant used to process local maërl for agricultural soil improvement. In 1963, the group combined maërl with Tunisian Gafsa soft rock phosphate and strengthened its commercial reach across France through a dedicated field sales network. The company expanded fertiliser production in 1971 with the construction of the first TIMAC AGRO pelletising plant in Saint Malo. The Phosphea activity began in 1976 with the startup of a processing plant in the Saint Malo Industrial Park. By 1979, the group initiated international expansion through the acquisition of multiple production plants worldwide. In 1984, the group acquired its first research laboratory in Spain to support development activities. Diversification followed in 1988 with the creation of a plastics business line and in 1989 with entry into food processing through Paticeo. The international footprint strengthened in 1997 with a production plant acquisition in Brazil and in 2000 with the purchase of a mining and production operation in Spain under the Terresis division. The Phosphea division expanded internationally in 2003 through the opening of its first plant in Tunisia, and in 2004 TIMAC AGRO entered Central and Eastern Europe via a production facility in Austria. In 2005, the company opened the CERA Applied Research Centre to centralize industrial research capabilities. The group enhanced logistics and raw material security in 2011 through a joint venture to build bulk carriers and in 2012 through a magnesia mining partnership in Brazil. More recently, the group expanded internationally with Paticeo’s acquisition in Belgium in 2020, consolidation of magnesium operations and expansion in the United States in 2021, and the acquisition of the SPO production plant in Brazil by Phosphea in 2022. Over time, the company evolved from a regional soil amendment producer into a diversified international group active across plant nutrition, animal nutrition, food processing, and industrial activities

Product Description

Monosodium Phosphate

Monosodium Phosphate (MSP) is a highly water-soluble inorganic phosphate product designed as a feed additive to optimize animal nutrition formulations. It serves as a reliable source of phosphorus and sodium, supporting efficient nutrient availability and formulation performance across multiple animal species. MSP is manufactured in micro-granule form, facilitating uniform mixing and consistent application in feed blends.

Specifications & Features

• High phosphorus content: ~23.5% (P with 95% water solubility) for improved nutritional effectiveness.
• Sodium content: ~16% providing essential sodium support in diets.
• Physical form: Cream-coloured micro-granules (0.8–1.6 mm).
• Manufacturing location: Produced in Gabès, Tunisia.
• Packaging options: Available in bulk, 25 kg and 50 kg bags, and 1 T / 1 T1 big bags.

MSP Aqua

MSP Aqua is a high-purity monosodium phosphate product specially designed for aquaculture nutrition. It supplies readily available phosphorus and sodium to support balanced feed formulations for aquatic species. MSP Aqua’s properties ensure excellent solubility and mixability, making it suitable for high-precision feed applications.

Specifications & Features

• Product Type: Monosodium phosphate for aquaculture nutrition
• Form: Micro-granules with good handling and mixing characteristics
• High Water Solubility: Ensures rapid dissolution in feed formulations
• Phosphorus Source: Supplies usable phosphorus to support growth and metabolic functions
• Sodium Contribution: Adds necessary sodium content to aquatic diets

Application: Designed specifically for inclusion in aquafeeds (fish, shrimp, etc.)

MSP Ruminants

MSP Ruminant is a tailored monosodium phosphate ingredient formulated specifically for ruminant animal nutrition. It delivers highly soluble phosphorus and sodium that are essential for supporting efficient rumen function, feed utilization, and overall growth performance in cattle and other ruminant species. Designed for uniform mixability and consistent nutrient delivery, MSP Ruminant contributes to balanced and effective feed formulations.

Specifications & Features

• Product Type: Monosodium phosphate for ruminant nutrition
• Solubility: High water solubility for rapid nutrient availability in the rumen
• Phosphorus Source: Supplies essential phosphorus needed for energy metabolism and skeletal development
• Sodium Contribution: Provides balanced sodium levels to support electrolyte balance
• Form: Micro-granular form with good flow and mixing characteristics

Feed Compatibility: Suitable for inclusion in dairy and beef cattle feed formulations
