Cerdia International

Cerdia International describes itself as a global partner for cellulose acetate. Its website presents cellulose-based products, mainly acetate flakes and filter tow, which it positions as nature-based and biodegradable, along with technical customer support and the online "Cable" filter design tool.

The company traces its production history to 1912 in France and to flakes production in Freiburg, Germany, from 1927.
