PREOL, a.s. is the largest processor of rapeseed in the Czech Republic, operating a modern integrated production plant in Lovosice. Founded in 2003, the company processes up to 460,000 tons of rapeseed annually using advanced DeSmet Ballestra technology.
Its main products include rapeseed oil methyl ester (FAME or biodiesel), extracted and extruded rapeseed meal for animal feed, pharmaceutical-grade glycerin, edible rapeseed oil, and biochar. The facility produces biofuels, feed materials, foodstuffs, and technical products from this domestic raw material.
PREOL is a subsidiary of the AGROFERT Group and actively participates in the promotion and development of biofuels in the Czech Republic and the European Union through memberships in organizations such as the European Biodiesel Board (EBB), SVB, and ČTPB. In 2023, it merged with its subsidiary PREOL FOOD, a.s., becoming the successor entity for edible oil refining operations.
The company trades its products domestically and internationally, with significant exports to neighboring countries like Germany. It employs around 140 people and focuses on sustainable and efficient processing of rapeseed to create value-added products for the energy, agriculture, and food industries.
