The Research Centre
3% of turnover dedicated to research every year
Roquette has brought together its research operation in Lestrem, the Group’s research base since 1951. The fact that the laboratories and main production are practically next door to each other boosts efforts to develop new techniques and products.
The innovation, quality and effectiveness of Roquette’s product range are pursued and monitored here. Here, too, our customers can obtain all the help they need to harness our science for their own product development.
Our 300 researchers and technicians (including 250 based in Lestrem) and our two application labs in the US and China file between 25 and 30 patents a year, sign more than 100 research-partnership agreements a year and have built close cooperation ties with universities and laboratories around the world.
