Historic
review
WINTERISATION EUROPE, company of the SIRH Group
S.I.R.H. (Société d’Importation et
de Raffinage d’Huiles) was founded in 1929. It
developed through the Fécamp cod fishing off Newfounland
and Greenland. SIRH mainly stocked up on cod liver oil
from the “Terre Neuvas” boats which came
back to Fécamp to unload salt cod. These oils
were sold for human and animal consumption.
After World War II, the company developed its activities
in the field of marine oils. It specialised in the cold
filtration of fish and animal oils, a process called "winterisation".
In the 1970’s, a cosmetic and pharmaceutical ‘vegetable
oils’ department was created that enhanced the
firm.
At the end of the 1990’s, SIRH specialised in the
omega 3 fish oils trading. At the same time, it divided
its activities in 2 subsidiaries sharing the different
businesses of the group : Laboratoire Soetenaey for the
vegetable oils and Winterisation Europe for the fish
and lard oils.
In 2003 the group built a factory in Agadir in order
to select, refine and winterise the Moroccan fish oils
with a high omega 3 content . This new subsidiary ‘Winterisation
Atlantic’ started its activities in 2005.
