General information

Short Summary
French SME specialises in formulation of organic liquid food supplements, extraction without chemical solvents and packaging without heat treatment, preservatives or additives in glass ampoules (5-15mL), bottles (20mL-1L) or sterile bags (10-1000L). It offers services to brands willing to expand their range with finished products, manufacturers looking to add natural active ingredients to their processes or looking for a service provider to aseptically package their products in ampoules/bottles.
Full Description
By combining a synergy of scientific and industrial skills, the French company set up in 2018 aims to make the health benefits of active ingredients derived from marine and terrestrial plants accessible to everyone. After 2 years of R&D, the French SME, an expert in natural extraction, marketed its first natural organic aqueous extract of spirulina titrated in phycocyanin (antioxidant/immunostimulant effects), enabling it to forge various commercial partnerships and initiate its development.

Since 2018, the innovative French SME has specialised in the design of plant-based liquid food/feed supplements (plants, algae...). The French SME packages its products in a clean room, guaranteeing perfect product sterility and enabling it to avoid adding preservatives, additives or sterilising products by heat treatment, which would have the effect of degrading certain active molecules. It has enabled European companies and laboratories to offer their customers 100% natural plant complexes and liquid extracts. In 5 years, over 12 million ampoules have been sold to major French players.

The SME makes its unique know-how available to other foreign companies, to formulate and manufacture food / feed supplements, ingredients and natural health drinks in liquid form. Finished products can be packaged in 5ml, 10ml or 15ml double-ended glass ampoules screen-printed in customised cases of 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 ampoules. A wide range of personalised packaging options is available, from the number of colours required to the choice of varnish and embossing. Liquid products can also be packaged in glass vials of various capacities, from ml to litre, and in sterile bags from litre to m3. The laboratory can also package finished products as required in ampoules, vials and/or sterile pouches without preservatives, additives or heat treatment, ready for sale.

The French SME offers custom-made liquid natural plant extracts to European players in the nutraceuticals, sports nutrition, health nutrition, nutricosmetics, pet food or animal nutrition markets. The company designs white-label finished products for major companies and laboratories in these different markets. The SME also supplies its extracts in ingredient form to food/feed industry companies. Commercial agreements with technical assistance are sought.
