Our journey
History
Sedaco DMCC was founded in early 2021. The company is a 100% owned subsidiary of Netherlands based Cefetra Group BV. The creation of Sedaco was an expression of Cefetra’s strategic drive to move beyond its historical core business: the provision of raw materials to the European compound feed industry. This had already entailed a number of purchases of internationally active companies in the food and feed ingredient specialties, as well as brown field new companies, such as Sedaco.
Sedaco has been founded with the backing of a well-resourced, very diverse and internationally active Group, which is keen to implement its strategy through companies that have similar focus and drive.
Industrial knowledge
Prior to becoming part of the Cefetra Group, Sedaco’s commercial and management team accumulated many years of industry knowledge, in several industry leading companies. More recently, Sedaco core staff, including key staff in the Sedaco sourcing countries, had worked together as a group.
