Who is Derwent Group?

Derwent Group belongs to Grupo Tejedor Lázaro, a leading Group with 65 years of experience in the field of animal nutrition, health and wellness in the pet and aquaculture sectors.

We offer a broad network of services and a Team of professionals to help you achieve your goals.

We are specialised in engineering projects for aquaculture and animal feed factories, with proven experience thanks to projects carried out for our clients in more than 20 countries all over the world.

With the latest technology and through the design and execution of turnkey projects, we accompany you from the design phase to the launch of your factory, and even, thanks to our experience, in the operation of it.

Moreover, we have great experience in raw materials for animal nutrition, which allows us to offer the best resources through our trading service. Optimal logistics and our extensive international sales network enable us to offer the highest quality animal proteins, vegetable proteins and additives. And all this with the backing of two certifications with great international prestige: IFS (International Featured Standards) and Global G.A.P.

We are also specialised in animal nutrition, and we work with Dibaq Group to manufacture food for pets and aquaculture fish and to sell these products and associated services in more than 65 countries around the world. Applying our extensive experience, we strive each day to create healthy, high-quality recipes with sustainable raw materials and the most innovative technology.

We are mindful of the fact that all of this work is made possible by the support and energy of the people who comprise our group and the rest of our major stakeholders. The people who make up Derwent Group are the cornerstone of our Company, and we appreciate the efforts of our Team, suppliers and collaborators, as well as the trust of our clients, the institutions with which we collaborate, and the social groups around us. Due to their importance to us, we work every day to ensure their well-being and happiness, having been recognised with EFR Certification as a Family-Responsible Company by Fundación Más Familia.
