From the very beginning, the company focused on the treatment of local aromatic raw materials such as jasmine, rose, violet leaf or mimosa, then widen its expertise on imported raw materials such as patchouli, tonka beans, ambrette, styrax, etc.
Payan Bertrand
Family company since 1864...
The company has constantly improved its production tools : from distillation, the company focused then on new techniques such as enfleurage then on volatile solvent extractions in the twenties.
The company then developed fractional distillation techniques in the fifties and more recently the molecular distillation.
This expertise allowed the company to succefully launch well known products such as Flouve (Fern oil and absolute) and many more…
More recently, and with the strong growth in the flavour market, the company developed a wide range of natural ingredients such as fish extracts and natural fractions such as ambretolide or octyl butyrate.
In 2004, the year of the 150th anniversary and, in a strong growth environment of its activity, the company opened a second production unit exclusively dedicated to fragrances compounds. Located in the Plan de Grasse, this new unit covers 1000 m2.
In 2006 the acquisition of General Aromatics allowed the company to go beyond a very important step in its development and to get an automatic weighing robot Roxane A for the production of its fragrances compounds.
The historical site of the company is now completely dedicated to the production of natural ingredients and a large investment plan is now focused on the expansion of distillation and extraction units, but also on innovative methods.
Our separately-located fragrance production plant features a modern Roxane automatic compounding robot, capable of precisely mixing 800 different ingredients to an accuracy of 0.01g, combined with a state of the art Colibri automatic blending unit.
This innovative equipment, able to mix each ingredient from 40 mg to 8 kg with a precision of a few milligrams, is based on a volumetric scale, allowing all ingredients to be blended all together, thus reducing manufacturing lead time.
