Our divisions
Grain Division
Historically, grain was the Groupe Sica Atlantique’s primary activity.
With 3 million tons of grain passing through our silos for export, year after year, our tools, investments and commitments strengthen our position as a key player in the French export sector and position us as the second largest export silo in France.
Dry bulk Division
In the mid 1990s, fluctuations in the international cereal market led us to reunite an initial group of companies specializing in port logistics of bulk solids and liquids.
One of our main objectives is to prevent transport serving our depots from returning empty. To this end we have researched and developed the importation of goods needed by our clients. Dry bulk goods include fertilizers, oilseed meal, wood pellets, and clinkers and slag for the cement industry.
Our experience in the handling of grain by rail enabled us to extend it to other dry bulk cargoes.
Liquids Division
First historical diversification axis, the Liquid Division started with the liquid fertilizer’s imports.
Molasses, vegetable oils as well as paraffin, methanol and mineral oils, are now handled through dedicated equipment.
Industrial Division
Envirocat Atlantique: the missing link for the French biodiesel industry!
