Spotlight on LEA NATURE

Description

Since its creation in 1993, Léa Nature, an independent family business, has been committed to manufacturing organic and natural products. The idea: to offer natural products that respect human health and nature, are accessible to as many people as possible and promote local economies, in the fields of food, health, beauty care and home products. EXPERTISE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF ORGANIC PRODUCTS Their expertise in the benefits of plants and natural health solutions has gradually developed into organic expertise in the fields of food, cosmetics, aromatherapy and home care. Léa Nature accompanies every moment of consumption, from the kitchen to the bathroom. Our aim is to make high-quality organic products available to everyone. LEA NATURE, AN INDEPENDENT FRENCH ORGANIC MANUFACTURER  Léa Nature has gone from being a designer-distributor to a leading manufacturer of natural and organic products, mastering every stage: structuring supply chains and selecting ingredients, product composition and formulation, quality and safety, manufacturing, packaging and environmental impact. 70% of our products are manufactured in France, with a target of 80% by 2025. 85% of finished products are certified organic.  Teas and herbal teas, two historic ranges, have been made at the head office since 1996; preserves and fruit juices have been concocted in the heart of Lot-et-Garonne since 1969 and 1985 respectively; pasta and cereals in Rhône-Alpes; biscuits in Charente-Maritime; and plants and essential oils in Drôme... The Léa Nature adventure has also brought on board other historic organic manufacturers, such as Ékibio and Vitamont, two organic pioneers in specialist shops. Today, Léa Nature is a village of family-run organic SMEs with 2,000 employees by 2022. By 2023, Léa Nature's 18 brands and more than 2,000 organic and natural product references will be available for sale in supermarkets, specialist networks (parapharmacies, pharmacies and organic shops) and on the internet in the food, health, hygiene-beauty and home care sectors.
