Research and the application of knowledge in life sciences are fundamental ways to understand life itself and to address global challenges in numerous fields, including health, nutrition, the environment and sustainability.
Together, we can improve our quality of life and health with a wide range of mineral solutions for sectors that are intertwined with our everyday lives: animal feed, agriculture, oenology and fruit juices. Our bentonite products offer flexibility and convenience, safety by way of good manufacturing practices, and complete traceability thanks to careful supply chain management.
Agricolture
Our experimental activities are driven by our ongoing commitment to research and development. We have therefore been working closely with international research institutes to find innovative solutions for many years.

Agricolture
In the agricultural sector, we have developed bentonite-based products for use in plant protection, soil conditioning, as an aggregating agent and as a seed treatment.
Animal Feed
Our bentonite products are used in animal feed, as additives for the production of pellet feeds, and as fluidifying and anti-clumping agents for the production of mineral feeds.

Animal Feed
We also offer a selection of products that are suitable for the adsorption of mycotoxins. When mixed with feed or premixes, they prevent the metabolisation of aflatoxins by animals, thereby avoiding the immunodepression, decreased fertility and reduced digestion that can be caused by the presence of mycotoxins in feed.
Oenology and Fruit Juices
We create bentonite products for use in wine and juice concentrate production processes.

Oenology and Fruit Juices
In the wine production sector, bentonite, in powder or granular form, is combined with water to form a gel in order to clarify (clean) the wine and ensure protein stability. Bentonite is also used to clarify clear fruit juices, such as apple, blueberry and raspberry juice, etc. Our bentonite products have different characteristics according to the needs expressed and required by the various customers and markets. With regard to wines, the aim is always to obtain wines with consistent and lasting marketable characteristics. For the fruit juice sector, we offer low-sodium bentonite and a wide range of ultra-fine (UF) powders that can be used in ultrafiltration systems. These products are particularly popular among producers of apple and berry juice concentrates.
