The carbohydrate and natural products valorization center (CVG), which has been in business for over 30 years, is changing its name to Extractis. The aim of this change is to better reflect the company's activities, its core business and its expertise in the field of plant extraction.
Today, Extractis is one of France's leading players in the field of plant-based biorefineries. Its ambition is to become a European leader within ten years. Only its name has changed, while its values and missions remain the same: "to transform an idea into a product", i.e. to design and develop innovative products and/or processes in line with technical specifications and the price of acceptance in the target sector.
The name change is also the fruit of a new development strategy, particularly internationally. Extractis has established a strong position in the French market and French-speaking countries, and now wishes to roll out this model across Europe and internationally, adopting a name that can be transposed and understood by non-French-speaking companies.
Extractis is an agro-industrial technical institute specializing in the extraction, purification and functionalization of plant biomass. Over 30 years' know-how, and more than €11 million of equipment spread over more than 3,500 m2. The institute works on around a hundred projects a year, in cosmetics, food, nutraceuticals, health and technical additives. Its core business is contract research and development on all types of plant materials, using innovative technologies such as ultrasound, membrane electrodialysis and reactive extrusion. Extractis, which is ISO 9001 certified, also has a service platform dedicated to the design of turnkey projects, from the laboratory to product industrialization, offering scale-up, transfer and pre-production to test or optimize a unit operation, validate test markets, as well as shaping.
