From first selecting the ingredients to the finished product, from development to delivering your nutraceutical solutions, 3i nature puts its skills in innovation and industrial expertise gained from 20 years’ experience at your service.



The Development centre brings together a multidisciplinary team of top-level experts and a technical support unit specially designed for pilot phases. The Development centre is your shared engineering service - Philippe Laurent, 3i nature CEO.
You will have a customer-focused 3i nature project manager leading a team of in-house or external experts who will be responsible for engineering development, the schedule and budget. S/he provides you with customised guidance with absolute confidentiality guaranteed (confidentiality agreements and clauses…).
Our Quality Management System defines the internal processes whichenable us to bring the required skills together. At every stage of the project, the project manager will submit the team’s proposals to you and will provide you with the deliverables required for your approval. After final approval, s/he will send these elements to the Scale up department so the chosen solution can be transferred to industrial scale.
The Development centre has a technology platform, a reduced-sized model of production workshops used to set the feasibility and stability of the products to be put on the market. Using tools and samples of raw materials and packaging items, from pre-tests to pilot batches, this technology platform has been designed to accommodate your own teams at your request and allows them to carry out their development activities using time-sharing infrastructure and expertise.
3i nature selects plants and extracts which fulfil set objectives. 3i nature can also develop specific liquid or dry extracts, which meet the dosage requirements and your need for innovative active ingredients. With market studies from research bodies and its own databases at its disposal, 3i nature is in a position to guide you in validating your ideas. 3i nature then carries out the galenic formulation, flavouring, packaging specifications according to your graphic design and merchandising goals, and even regulatory authorisation if required, in line with your providers. Thus, 3i nature is with you every step of the way in your projects.
