Lipid production

Custom lipid development and manufacturing to support novel drug delivery systems, backed by >280 tons of annual capacity and global compliance.

Supporting innovation in delivery

Developing lipid-based delivery systems requires reliable access to high-purity lipids at scale. We partner with you to design and scale lipid production, leveraging >30 cGMP chromatography systems to ensure high purity. From Omega-3s to Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs), we deliver the quality and reliability needed for next-generation therapies.

Why partner with us?

  • Manufacturing capacity of >280 tons of lipids per year.
  • Versatile expertise ranging from Omega-3s to complex LNPs.
  • Industrial-scale purification using continuous chromatography (Varicol®).
  • Supported by a >€60M investment in purification capacity (Mourenx).
  • Robust manufacturing supply chain security within our European network.
  • High-efficiency solvent recycling (>99.99%) supporting sustainable manufacturing.
  • From 1g to 1KT of commercial production.

Innovation in lipid chemistry

Our lipid production combines industrial scale with advanced purification and process optimisation technologies. These include continuous multi-column chromatography (Varicol®/SMB) and semi-continuous single-column purification (Cyclojet), offering greater efficiency and scalability than traditional batch HPLC. Computer-aided simulation supports process design and optimisation, while extensive preparative chromatography capacity—including 25 preparative HPLC systems across Pompey (PPY), Chasse-sur-Rhône (CSR) and Mourenx (MRX)—ensures robust development and manufacturing.
