Description Of The Business

Devro plc ("Devro"), a public limited company registered in Scotland, is the world's leading provider of collagen products for the food industry.  Collagen is one of the most common forms of protein, which is transformed into strong but flexible edible casings and other related products by highly sophisticated and complex food processing technologies.

Devro has manufacturing facilities in Scotland, Australia, the Czech Republic and the US and has a broad range of collagen technologies which underpins the performance of our global brands of Devro, Coria, Cutisin and Edicol.   Our wide geographic coverage and comprehensive technical know-how mean that the business is well placed to meet the demands of markets and customers around the world and to ensure that the Devro group is capable of supplying edible collagen casings for every type of sausage application in any market.

In addition to its manufacturing facilities, Devro services world markets from strategically based commercial offices in four other countries and through an extensive network of distributors and agents.  Day-to-day sales and operations are controlled locally through a structure of Regional Business Directors, while strategy, financial policy and business development are established centrally through a structure of functional directors.

Details of our manufacturing and commercial operations are shown in the diagram below.

Devro also manufactures and markets collagen films, plastic casings and purified collagen raw materials for medical and cosmetic use and, in addition, the group distributes a number of related products, principally cellulose, fibrous and plastic casings.
