          is a leading global biochemical producer of food

          The Group is continuing its strategy of becoming a leading
        
        
          worldwide provider of value added services and biotechnologies
        
        
          to the beverage and agro-alimentary industries. After having
        
        
          established a direct presence in Australia, Chile and USA,
        
        
          AEB Group is continuing its international growth and product
        
        
          diversification. AEB has been able to expand outside its
        
        
          traditional European markets (Italy, France and Spain), entering
        
        
          new geographies such as South Africa, China, North and South
        
        
          America. The company initiated sales of bacteria in the dairy
        
        
          and cheese segment in Chile and France, introduced new
        
        
          filtration systems and cartridges for the oenology market,
        
        
          and created new products for small breweries (new anti-foam
        
        
          products and new detergents). In April 2015, an agreement was
        
        
          reached for the sale of AEB to a leading US private investment
