At the time of Abenex’s acquisition, the business operated mainly in France, but also had sites in Iberia, Italy and the Benelux. Its products were categorised into four primary groups: health and functional food, slimming, specialty nutrition and sports nutrition. Nutrition & Santé primarily distributed its products via three distinctive channels: supermarkets, pharmacies and specialist nutrition shops.
