THE KALIZEA EXPERTISE
CONTROL OF THE CHAIN
KALIZEA has been relying for more than 50 years on a set of agronomic and industrial know-how, which, from the field to the plate, involves all the players in a common approach of progress. It ensures a total traceability, improves the production quality in a sustainable way, and provides a coherent and effective response to the environmental issues.
SUSTANABLE BY CONVICTION
KALIZEA, in partnership with the VIVESCIA Group, has chosen a committed approach in favour of sustainability. On a daily basis, we are acting to preserve our planet and respect the well-being of the people surrounding us. VIVESCIA's sustainable development approach, characterised by its 20 commitments to build a sustainable future, serves as a framework for the development of KALIZEA’s CSR approach.
INNOVATION BY NATURE
The KALIZEA innovation takes its source in the choice of selected maize varieties. It is then confirmed by the constant improvement of our manufacturing processes, then is declined through the development of our range of products, all from natural processing and without any additive to the maize kernel.
RISK MANAGEMENT
In a competitive context where markets are increasingly volatile and where their understanding is more complex, KALIZEA supports its customers by providing them with some solutions in the management of their risk.
CLEAN LABEL
Thanks to our 100% mechanical process, all our agri-food products are made without additive, preserving the technical, nutritional and organoleptic characteristics of the cereal during all the processing. Thus, they can get the "clean label" labelling.
CLOSE TO THE FARMERS AND TO THE NATURE
“The work in the chain is very thorough, from the production to the processing, to ensure a
total traceability and a sharing of the added value of each link"
As the subsidiary of the VIVESCIA Cooperative Group, we source more than 90% of our maize from the farmers of the cooperative in France, with maize produced near the maize mill, most often within a 100 km radius.
We have a special relationship with local maize farmers in Poland or Romania. These guarantee us some quality maize around our production sites.
