Your Innovation Partner
Our Customer Technical Services (CTS) is at the heart of our customer collaboration. More than a support function, it’s a global network of technical experts dedicated to bridging science and application.
Our teams work closely with you to understand your goals, troubleshoot challenges, and design solutions that fit your industrial reality. By combining deep technical knowledge with market insights, CTS helps reduce time-to-market and optimize performance at every stage. From feasibility studies and formulation trials to scale-up and process validation, we bring science and application together to ensure your success.
Fermentation Expertise
For more than 60 years, Roquette has been a pioneer in industrial fermentation, producing bio-based molecules and supporting customers in optimizing their processes. This long-standing experience allows us to deliver solutions that combine scientific rigor with practical application, helping industries achieve efficiency, consistency, and sustainability.
Our capabilities cover every stage of development:
- Microorganism Diversity: We work with a wide range of microorganisms—bacteria, yeast, fungi, and algae—under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
- Process Development: From high-throughput media screening and statistical modeling to fermentation trials in stirred tank reactors (1L to 5L), we ensure robust process design.
- Scale-Up Simulation: Access to 5L and 10L reactors enables accurate scale-up and pilot testing, reducing risk and accelerating industrial implementation.
- Downstream Processing: We provide freeze drying, filtration, encapsulation, fluid bed drying, and granulation to support product stabilization and formulation.
- Comprehensive Analytical Support: Our analytical capabilities include culture response analysis, carbon utilization, productivity monitoring, and expression tracking for precise control.
Applications range from microorganisms to metabolites such as enzymes, antibiotics, amino acids, flavors, organic acids, and specialty chemicals.
Working closely with our CTS team, customers benefit from tailored recommendations for media formulation, nitrogen source selection, and stabilization technologies, which accelerate innovation and improve yields.
Paper & Board Expertise
Our CTS Paper & Board team helps manufacturers meet sustainability and performance goals in fiber-based packaging.
Our expertise helps manufacturers optimize fiber-based packaging processes, reduce environmental impact, and improve cost efficiency—all while meeting evolving regulatory and market demands.
We focus on three key areas:
- Sustainable Solutions: Replacing PFAs with plant-based alternatives such as STABILYS® BA 25, delivering grease barrier properties without compromising safety or compliance.
- Performance Enhancement: Increasing corrugator speed and bonding strength with native pea starch adhesives, enabling higher productivity and energy savings. Expertise in starch usages in the paper machine whether wet end, surface treatment or coating.
- Cost Optimization: Enhancing production efficiency for paper and board production as well as corrugated board, to reduce operational costs and improve throughput.
