In 1895, when most companies were just starting, Nexira was already perfecting acacia gum extraction. Today, they supply 70% of the world's natural acacia supply—a monopoly disguised as a B2B ingredient supplier. While tech startups chase AI trends, this 129-year-old French company has quietly built a $72M empire on botanical extracts.

"They don't compete on price—they compete on scarcity. When you own 70% of the world's acacia supply, you're not a vendor; you're the gatekeeper."

The tech stack reveals their priorities: jQuery and Bootstrap (stable, proven), Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI (modern efficiency), Swiper and Slick (product showcases). No bleeding-edge frameworks, no unnecessary complexity. They're not building a digital product—they're building a digital storefront for physical ingredients. The 1,610 monthly searches for 'nexira' alone prove brand recognition in a space where most suppliers remain anonymous.

• 129-year history with zero pivot—they've been doing acacia since before the internet existed
• 70% global acacia market share creates natural monopoly dynamics
• B2B2C model: they supply the ingredients that go into consumer products you already buy
• Strategic silence: no Trustpilot reviews, no aggressive marketing—just supply chain dominance
