Plantex

Plantex develops, produces and packages botanical extracts, standardised or made to order, from more than 300 plant species. Extracts are supplied in liquid bases (aqueous, hydroalcoholic, hydro-glycerin) or as dry forms on maltodextrin carriers, and the company also develops custom extraction processes to a client's specification.

Its customers are manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food, animal nutrition and cosmetics industries, sold on a B2B basis. The company states that about 65% of its turnover is export, to more than 45 countries. It cites organic, ISO 22000, FamiQS and FDA registration, and offers kosher and halal certified ingredients.

Plantex was founded in 1990 by Pierre Debaisieux, with its first plant in Château-Thierry. Since 2017 its operations, including production, R&D, storage, quality analysis and sales, have been located in Saint-Michel-sur-Orge (Essonne), south of Paris. The company lists two production sites in France and Morocco and a sales office in Spain. Merieux Equity Partners became a shareholder in 2021.
