Launch of two major projects to advance the Bioprox production facility. This strategic expansion involves not only increasing industrial fermentation capacities twofold but also a profound transformation of production processes through the integration of the latest technologies.
"The manufacturing site in Noyant is currently undergoing significant expansion.""This initiative is pivotal as we aim to support the average annual growth of 30% witnessed over the past decade. Indeed, the modernisation not only enhances our operational robustness but also underscores our commitment to meeting the growing demand and requirements to a “T”. Bioprox Healthcare has always been able to rely on knowledge of industrial processes and the properties of cultivated microorganisms. We do have this level of technicity thanks to our sister company, Bioprox Cultures, a French specialist in large-scale industrial fermentation since 1975. The company has developed a solid industrial production activity for over 50 bacterial species as well as high-quality consulting services. This expertise is fundamental to enhancing the effectiveness of probiotics in our clients' future products, solidifying Bioprox's position in the competitive landscape of probiotics’ sector."
