History

GUYON was founded in 1878 and now 125 years later the corebusiness is still the same : Mg related products. Through the years the company combined know-how with a capacity to seize strategic opportunities to develop into a major player worldwide.

During the early 1980s the animal feed market developed enormously as a result of nutrient supplements, and
GUYON started its own formulation plant for solubles and non-solubles.

From animal feed to liquid fertilizers/trace elements was a small step, and it is for that reason that
GUYON now supplies these two markets.


GUYON developed in three major fields:

  1. Increase of mineral product range to supply the whole range : phosphates, copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt, iron, boric acid
  2. Realisation of two installations to produce liquids or suspensions for the fertilizer market as well as the
    chemical market
  3. Logistic perfection in order to meet growing customer needs : Warehouses, sieving, handling, blending, rebagging, reconditioning (liquid/solids) installations.

To optimise customer services, GUYON acquired transport company SAFA and founded handling company GEPS.
