Extractos Vegetales S.A.

Extractos Vegetales S.A., commonly known as EVESA, is a Spanish company founded in 1972 that specialises in the cultivation, extraction and marketing of natural extracts, aromatic plants and spices. Its products serve the food, feed and pet-food, fragrance, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical, and cosmetics industries. The company describes itself as the largest producer of paprika oleoresin and paprika powder in the European Union, with a turnover of around 15 million euros and a workforce of 60 to 70 people. EVESA's portfolio includes paprika powders, flakes, seeds and hot chilies; paprika natural colours; capsicum oleoresins; herb and spice oleoresins and essential oils; natural citrus extracts and flavonoids; ex-rosemary natural antioxidants; hydroxytyrosol; orange extracts; labdanum derivatives such as gums, resinoids, absolutes and concretes; and clean-label flavour enhancers for sweet and savoury tastes. The company also supplies fresh quinoa, onions, chia, beans and other crops, as well as garlic powder and citrus peel granules. To control quality and safety, EVESA has established its own raw-material plantations in South America and the Southern Cone of Africa, giving it a high level of self-sufficiency and allowing it to manage potential hazards such as pesticides and mycotoxins during cultivation and storage. Its operations combine traditional extraction techniques with sophisticated analytical and evaluation methods. Beyond manufacturing its own raw materials, EVESA offers out-sourcing and tailor-made development services, processing customers' own raw materials and developing new products, processes and technical solutions. The company emphasises quality assurance and quality control as central pillars of its philosophy, positioning itself as a reliable supplier in a globalised market.

Extractos Vegetales S.A. (EVESA) was founded in Spain in 1972. From its outset, the company's aim was to enhance the products provided by nature and make them useful and more attractive to its customers. It evolved from the cultivation, extraction and marketing of natural extracts, aromatic plants and spices for the food, feed and pet-food, fragrance and pharmaceutical industries. Over the decades, EVESA developed a broad portfolio that includes paprika powder and blends, paprika oleoresins, natural antioxidants such as ex-rosemary and hydroxytyrosol, herb and spice oleoresins, orange extracts, and labdanum derivatives (gums, resinoids, absolutes and concretes). The company states that it has been in business since 1972 and has mainly processed its own raw materials to supply its customers. To secure quality and safety, EVESA established its own raw-material plantations in South America and the Southern Cone of Africa, achieving a high level of self-sufficiency and allowing it to control potential hazards such as pesticides and mycotoxins during cultivation and storage. The company combines traditional extraction techniques with sophisticated analytical and evaluation techniques. With a turnover of around 15 million euros and a workforce of 60 to 70 people, EVESA describes itself as the biggest paprika oleoresin and paprika powder producer in the EU. It competes in a globalised market and offers out-sourcing and tailor-made development services, processing customers' own raw materials and developing new products and processes. More than 40 years of interpreting customer needs have made EVESA a reference as an out-sourcing service company, according to its own account.
