Nutriset, an overview
- 25 years of experience, research and innovation for the benefit of children; an operation 100% dedicated to humanitarian and welfare initiatives in developing countries.
- An ambitious mandate for the company set by its founder, Michel Lescanne:
To invent, produce and make accessible solutions for the treatment and prevention of malnutrition and so contribute to the nutritional autonomy of developing countries.
- A major innovation in 1996: Plumpy’Nut®, the first ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), made possible a revolution in the management of malnutrition, increasing the number of children treated and improving the recovery rate.
- The development of a complete range of nutritional solutions (Plumpy'Sup®, Plumpy’Doz®, Nutributter®, etc.) making possible to effectively combat malnutrition, from treatment to prevention, and making Nutriset the world leader in its field.
- Investment in research in the field of acute diarrhoea, with the development of ZinCfant®, dispersible zinc sulphate tablets.
- A reliable and flexible industrial capacity, able to meet the requirements of Nutriset’s humanitarian partners.
- The creation of producer networks operating directly in developing countries, PlumpyField® and ZincField: in addition to improving the availability of high-quality, locally-produced products close to where they are needed, these networks contribute to sustainable economic development in these regions.
- A services and skills centre for partner companies in the PlumpyField® and ZincField networks.
- A battle to ensure the accessibility of its products to “bottom of the pyramid” (BoP) populations, through an ACCESS strategy.
