Seqens has longstanding experience in up-scaling and custom manufacturing of chemicals for various industries (fine chemicals, lubricants, electronics…). We offer our expertise, industrial know-how and flexible facilities to expand your production capabilities, should it be occasional or on the longer term.

INDUSTRIAL ASSETS

Seqens is a European reference in industrialization of high value added custom materials, granting flexibility and reliability to its customers (from the early stage of upscaling development).

Offering multi-step synthesis, process optimization and cost reduction advice, Seqens also has strong assets to integrate your supply chain as an outsourcer in the case of “make or buy” decisions.

Seqens highly flexible technological platform adapts to your requirements and meets your needs. Our toolbox of chemistries and processes provides you with the best tailor-made solutions with high quality standards.

R&D EXPERTISE

Seqens teams closely collaborate with customers to understand their requirements and major hurdles all along the projects.

Scientists and state-of-the-art lab equipment, located in our R&D centers (France and Canada), allow us to support customer innovation within contract research projects.
