Founded in 1968, APPLEXION has developed a unique know-how for responding to the needs of the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, para-chemical and bio industries.

    The name " Applexion " is derived from the contraction of“Research and Special Applications of Ion-Exchange”.This know-how is the result of multiple competence

    - the Research and Development teams whoconceive these processes

    - the Technical teams who design the industrial application

    Applexion’s excellence in Process Engineering comes from the perfect mastery of chemical engineering unit operations such as :

    - ion-exchange or adsorption

    - chromatography

    - membrane techniques like microfiltration,ultrafiltration and nanofiltration

    - enzymatic engineering and fermentation techniques

    - concentration and crystallization

    Applexion’s business is very export orientated, and more than 80 % of its gross annual sales come from outside France.

    The work accomplished by Applexion through its development of overseas markets was recognized in 1991 when it received the Mercure d’Or award from the French government.

    Applexion has installed more than 300 innovative industrial systems in over 45 countries. Applexion is an engineering company mastering separation technologies. The rapid expansion of Applexion’s activity worldwide is the result of original innovation in this advanced process technology.In order to serve our customers on a worldwide basis Applexion is operating from many operations such as its overseas branches or local representatives.
