Local Economic Development and Heritage Preservation

The Vilmorin-Mikado group has confirmed its significant investment in the commune of La Ménitré, located in Maine-et-Loire. An amount close to 16 million euros is dedicated to this expansion.

This development includes the commissioning of two new state-of-the-art laboratories, operational since the beginning of 2026. These facilities demonstrate the company's commitment to innovation.

Concurrently, the first stone of the future head office has been laid, with delivery anticipated in 2028. This project consolidates the group's establishment in this region.

This initiative, although located outside Normandy, illustrates the dynamic of economic development in rural French territories. It underscores the importance of thoughtful growth, allowing for the reconciliation of industrial advancements with respect for local identity, principles that our site also supports in the context of Norman heritage.
