APC Europe

APC Europe is the European division of APC, a global manufacturer and supplier of functional protein ingredients for the animal nutrition industry. The company is headquartered in Granollers, Spain, and operates as part of APC's worldwide network. APC's story began in 1981 when its scientists discovered the powerful role plasma-derived functional proteins play in supporting and maintaining normal immune function in animals. Since then, APC has grown to become the global leader in the manufacture and sales of blood-derived functional plasma proteins and red blood cell products. These ingredients are used in animal feed diets and other industries to add value through their unique properties, positively impacting billions of animals and plants each year. APC Europe serves customers across Europe and beyond, providing high-quality, safe, and effective products. The company's mission is to help animals and plants thrive through the use of innovative functional proteins that positively impact performance. APC employs over 500 people in 8 countries with 17 manufacturing facilities worldwide. The European operation is led by Albert Gibert, Vice President & Managing Director APC Europe, and Javier Polo, Global Vice President of Business Development, who are part of the global executive management team. APC's products are used by a wide range of industry professionals, including producers, feed specialists, and veterinarians. The company pioneered the spray-drying process for blood-derived plasma, turning a former by-product of the meat processing industry into a valuable feed ingredient. APC is committed to sustainability, taking blood that would otherwise have little to no value and transforming it into red cells and plasma. Red cells become a highly digestible protein used in feed rations, while plasma is specially processed into a fine powder that retains unique functional proteins while assuring safety. APC Europe operates in a global market, with sales teams covering North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The company's products are backed by extensive research, with more than 600 peer-reviewed, published journal articles documenting the positive effects of plasma across species. APC continues to invest significantly in research and development to ensure the safest, most effective products available.

APC's history began in 1981 when its scientists discovered the powerful role plasma-derived functional proteins play in helping support and maintain normal immune function in animals. With a commitment to research and a passion to improve the lives of animals, APC grew to become the global leader in the manufacture and sales of blood-derived functional plasma proteins and red blood cell products. The company's founders, long involved in the meat processing industry, recognized potential uses for blood, which was once considered a by-product with insignificant value and routinely sent into wastewater systems or hauled to landfills. APC pioneered the spray-drying process by which value is now derived from this raw material, becoming the ultimate recycler. Over the decades, APC expanded its operations globally. Today, APC employs over 500 people in 8 countries with 17 manufacturing facilities worldwide. APC Europe, headquartered in Granollers, Spain, serves as the European division, led by Albert Gibert as Vice President & Managing Director.
