The biosolutions respond to a logic of integrated management of the plant ecosystem, acting on the soil and the plants, enabling the reconciliation of economic and environmental performance. The Olmix Plant Care product range, effectively demonstrated by trials carried out throughout the world and tailor-made solutions, thus provides responses to the sustainability and profitability challenges faced by our partners and customers in field crops, amenities and fruit and vegetable crops.

"Food and climate issues are of great importance to me and I am convinced that these new alternative technologies, healthier for the environment and responding to the expectations of the agricultural world and society, will accelerate the transformation of agriculture to achieve a more sustainable and resilient production says Catherine Lamboley. Olmix is in line with this vision and has all the assets to provide innovative and efficient solutions to all the players in the agricultural world thanks to unique R&D and processes, a strong international presence, a wide range of products adapted to each need, committed men and women who promote collaboration and collective intelligence to face common challenges."

Jean-Christophe Juilliard points out that the arrival of Catherine Lamboley "illustrates the Group’s strong ambitions to develop its Plant care business, for which we have innovative solutions in line with the expectations of a fast-changing market. Agricultural production methods are evolving and are leading, throughout the world and on many crops, to a growing need for alternative biosolutions from the soil to the plant. Catherine Lamboley’s experience and knowledge of international agricultural production issues will enable the Group to develop and promote our new solutions in order to help the plant sectors evolve their production methods for the benefit of all their stakeholders."
