Carr's Group enters strategic manufacturing partnership with Vétalis

Carr's Group plc (LSE: CARR), a global leader in sustainable livestock
supplements, announces it has entered into a strategic manufacturing
partnership with French company Vétalis to develop an advanced range of
Tracesure® boluses, with distribution scheduled from Autumn 2025.

 

The new partnership follows the strategic decision to close the ANIMAX
production facility in June 2025 and enables the Group to allocate more
resources toward innovation and meeting the demands of a growing market.
Vétalis is a recognised expert in precision bolus supplementation technology
and brings strong capabilities in developing science-backed solutions that
support livestock health and sustainable farming practices.

 

The partnership marks a pivotal step in the Group's growth strategy by
improving on-farm productivity which in turn supports sustainable global food
security. By combining the Group's deep understanding of livestock nutrition
with Vétalis' advanced manufacturing, the partnership will propel innovation,
drive operational efficiencies, and improve product delivery. The agreement is
expected to deliver meaningful operational savings while reinforcing the
market-leading position of Tracesure® in the UK and Ireland.

 

Joshua Hoopes, Chief Executive Officer of Carr's Group plc commented: "This is
a key strategic milestone as we reposition the Group as a focused, pure-play
agriculture business. Partnering with Vétalis enables us to build a more
efficient platform for sustainable growth, while strengthening our customer
offering and creating long-term value for shareholders."
