Nexira, a global leader in natural ingredients based in Rouen, recognized among France’s best-managed companies

Nexira announces that it has been named one of the 50 French companies awarded the 2026 “Best Managed Companies” label by Deloitte France.

Founded in Rouen in 1895, Nexira employs nearly 300 people in France and operates in more than 80 countries, with 91% of its revenue generated internationally. Nexira specializes in the production of natural ingredients for the food, nutrition, and health industries. This distinction recognizes not only the Group’s overall performance, but also its strong regional roots and its contribution to local economic development.

Launched in France in 2021, the “Best Managed Companies” program—founded by Deloitte Canada more than thirty years ago—has become a benchmark label, now present in over 46 countries and representing more than 1,300 companies. In France, it notably highlights large mid-sized companies (ETIs), reflecting the strength and expertise of the country’s economic fabric. This label recognizes private companies for their excellence in management and overall performance through a rigorous evaluation process based on four key criteria: strategy, capabilities and innovation, culture and commitment, as well as governance and financial performance. This assessment framework provides a comprehensive and in-depth view of management quality and organizational strength.

This year, Nexira joins the circle of the 50 French companies awarded the Best Managed Companies label. For Nexira, this recognition is part of a broader development dynamic driven by its Ambitions 2030 strategic plan. This plan aims to accelerate the Group’s growth while preserving its independence, focusing on four key priorities: diversification through external growth, product innovation, digital transformation, and managerial evolution. This strategy is reflected in the Group’s international expansion, the strengthening of its industrial capabilities, and the continued investment in innovation and natural ingredients.

“We are proud to count Nexira among the companies awarded the Best Managed Companies label, alongside exemplary, innovative, and resilient organizations that embody the excellence and dynamism of the French economy,” comments Guillaume Detournmignies, Deloitte Partner in charge of the Best Managed Companies program. “The Best Managed Companies label is an important recognition for our Group. Above all, it reflects the commitment of our teams, who bring our ambition for sustainable growth to life every day. Through Ambitions 2030, we continue to develop Nexira by building on our values as an independent family-owned company, our capacity for innovation, and our long-term commitment to natural ingredient value chains,” says Mathieu Dondain, Vice President and CEO of Nexira.
