INNOVATION
A pioneer in the development of algae-based solutions
Innovation represents 6% of Olmix Group revenues and 12% of employees, with an R&D division comprising health and nutrition experts, along with specialists in algae, clay minerals and trace elements. These teams are located at the Olmix Group headquarters in Bréhan, Brittany, which house the company’s laboratories and testing equipment. From this base, they cooperate with universities and research organizations all over the world and take part in ambitious collaborative research programmes. Olmix Group R&D has generated 15 patents so far.
Based in Brittany, at the heart of marine research
With significant marine science expertise and resources, Brittany is the ideal site for Olmix Group R&D. This division benefits from the latest scientific advances thanks to its location near one of the world’s first research centres specialized in algae (the Roscoff Biological Station, created in 1872), as well as universities and specialist institutions such as Ifremer (the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea). Brittany is also home to one of Europe’s largest agricultural and agrifood economies, enabling Olmix Group to test the results of its work in real conditions at applied research centres.
