SIAL, the world's largest food innovation exhibition, was held from Saturday 19 to Tuesday 23 October at Paris Nord Villepinte!
For the 60th anniversary of the show, the Cooperl teams pulled out all the stops to welcome our customers and let them taste our cooked and dried meats and charcuterie.
See you next year at Anuga in Germany, from 4 to 8 October 2025!
Eurotier, Europe's largest livestock show, takes place from November 12 to 15 in Hanover.
Our stand of almost 200 m2 covers a wide range of expertise and know-how, which is Cooperl's distinctive feature linked to its organization into sectors. From equipment and connected solutions to effluent management, genetics, health and biosecurity, Cooperl is in a position to respond to the major challenges faced by livestock farmers around the world in their businesses, such as animal welfare, carbon footprint reduction and, of course, the quest for economic performance.
According to Space organizers, this 38th edition of the show brought together over 1,200 exhibitors and attracted more than 100,000 visitors over three days!
On the Cooperl and Calipro stands, a major new feature was presented at a press conference held on Tuesday morning on the Cooperl stand. We're talking abouta revolution even more powerful than that of the whole male...
On the 1st day of the Salon International de l'Elevage, we brought you this year's... connected Minute Space! Find out more in the next video about this great new feature called IRIS Feeding.
Bernard Rouxel presents IRIS by Cooperl, launched at SPACE Rennes 2024! The very first brick in this technological revolution is IRIS Feeding, the first individualized nutrition solution that provides a daily menu for each pig.
Denis Olivry, Director of Cooperl Nutrition, talks about individualized nutrition with IRIS Feeding: a world first in animal nutrition!
On May 30 and 31, the European Pig Producers' Association held its annual congress in Nantes on the theme “ How to engage the consumer”. The event offered a unique opportunity to discover the latest innovations in the pork industry. Cooperl supported the event as a gold sponsor.
The congress took place over three days, combining field visits and technical presentations. Participants had the opportunity to visit companies in the Grand Ouest region. In Lamballe, for example, Cooperl teams visited the Bulle Cooperl Environnement and the Cooperl Equipements showroom.
Naturally, the environmental footprint of pork production (ammonia emissions, greenhouse gas emissions), animal welfare and food safety were at the heart of the discussions! And just as well, Cooperl has a lot to say on the subject... In fact, the company has been making a remarkable effort to innovate on environmental issues for almost 40 years.
This congress represents a major strategic challenge. By bringing together European pork producers, the aim is not only to strengthen international collaboration, but also to stimulate innovation and competitiveness in the European pork sector. Participants left impressed by the actions and solutions proposed by the cooperative!
58 years on, some of today's Cooperl directors look back at the launch of this great cooperative adventure, and highlight the major innovations it has brought with it.
In April 1966, led by Sébastien Coupé, 24 farmers with a passion for their trade got together and organized to market their pigs. Pragmatic and persevering, they took it upon themselves to create and sustain jobs, starting with breeding, the first link in a long chain that our cooperative would build step by step.
In early April, the Montfort-sur-Meu (35) site was inaugurated following modernization work.
With 15 million invested (including 2 million financed by the French government's stimulus plan), our cooperative was able to present the results of this work:
- installation of new carcass splitting robots,
- replacement of electrical anaesthesia by carbon dioxide stunning.
“This anaesthetizing technique not only improves the conditions under which animals are stunned, but also enables us to meet Anglo-Saxon specifications, thus opening up new commercial prospects for us overseas”, concludes Samuel Briens, site manager.
The new facilities provide employees with ergonomic workstations and reduced noise levels (less noise because the animals are quieter).
The press, local councillors and the Board of Directors all came away from the visit impressed by the new facilities.
On Thursday February 22nd, Cooperl's member breeders from Gaec Ty Moguel in Mahalon (29) were visited by Marc Fesneau, the French Minister for Agriculture and Food Sovereignty.
He came to Brittany to talk about reconstruction following the Ciaran and Domingos storms , agri-environmental measures, the agricultural orientation and future bill...
Benoit and Éric's farm is committed to animal welfare, with the Porc Bien-Être (non-castration) and Porc Sans Antibiotique (no antibiotics from birth) specifications, and to the environment. The farm has been designed to promote a sustainable diet, and to produce green energy on site using photovoltaic panels.
Following the tour of the farm, the Minister held discussions with the various professional agricultural organizations in the Finistère department (Brittany, France) on the problems encountered, the work undertaken both locally and nationally, and the measures announced by the Government.
At the end of October and beginning of November, the Cooperl teams brought together the biggest players in pork processing in Asia in our main countries of operation: China, Thailand and Vietnam.
We shared our cooperative's vision and know-how in genetics, nutrition, animal health, environment and livestock equipment.
With almost 600 participants gathered at these 3 events, the discussions helped to refine our knowledge of the international context and, above all, to strengthen our ties with our customers and prospects in the livestock and processing sector.
*600 people gathered around "Made in Cooperl" or "Made in/by Cooperl": that is to say, gathered around Cooperl's know-how and solutions.
After four and a half years of work, the new Combioval was built at Cooperl Environment in Lamballe (22)!
Since 2008, the Combioval workshop has recovered, after degreasing the water in our wastewater treatment plant, a co-product: flotation greases, which are greasy waste from our factories or partner companies.
These flotation fats enter the Combioval and are concentrated there. The workshop makes it possible to obtain Combioval grease, made up of 95% grease. It is then recovered in the form of biofuel to power our steam production tools or is used to supply the production chain of our biofuel.

Anuga was held from Saturday October 7 until Wednesday October 11 in Cologne, Germany for the 37th edition!
Cooperl Cured Meat and Cooperl Meat teams had the pleasure of welcoming our customers to our stand and introducing them to - or rediscovering - our cooked and dried meats and charcuterie through tastings.
We look forward to seeing you next year from October 19 to 23 at the SIAL show in Paris!
