With our first extraction plant built in 1947, OmniChem NaturalSpecialities has gained significant and exhaustive experience and expertise in the extraction, purification and hemi-synthesis of botanicals.
Fundamental R&D, process and product development, and marketing are supported internally by a multi-disciplinary team including chemists, engineers and marketers.
Besides our contract manufacturing activities (see "Extraction of botanicals") we have developed our own range of natural specialities that is marketed world-wide through a network of dedicated specialists.
Our current range of products include :
Our target markets cover brewery, oenology, food & flavours, nutraceuticals,
cosmeceuticals and pharmaceuticals as well as the textile industry for some of our gallo-tannins.
Ajinomoto OmniChem was established in 1778 as a black powder producing company "Cooppal & Cie".
As the company evolved new activities were initiated and others abandoned: black powder production was decommissioned in 1969 and tannic acid extraction was commenced shortly after WW 2 (1947).
