Testimonies

FIRMENICH - Production of essential oils

FIRMENICH's Innovation Natural department has been working with IDCO for several years. Our collaboration is very fruitful and we were able to appreciate the professionalism and great responsiveness of IDCO. This collaboration has led to positive, concrete and promising results that we hope to continue to develop.

R&D industrialisation DirectorPhilippe Pineau

EXPANSCIENCE - Drying

"We have found in IDCO a reliable and competent partner able to feed the research and development innovation process on our themes. The IDCO team was able to understand our specific issues and respond technically to ensure the success of the specifications. It is also a friendly and available team. A subcontractor of choice"

Iann Rancé R&D Director

ALTEO - Red mud recycling

"We have been working with IDCO since 2012 to find solutions for the recovery of our bauxite residues, and we were able to appreciate IDCO's professionalism and creativity. For each new request that we formulate, IDCO finds solutions and carries out the necessary tests on different scales with reactivity. Proof of our satisfaction: we had the opportunity to strongly advise several of our Partners to work with IDCO."

Laurent Poizat Strategic Projects Manager

OLEOS /HALLSTAR - Production of oil extracts

"Our activity has been based on the eco-extraction of plants to offer the cosmetic market high-performance and safe natural ingredients. Extraction co-intensified by ultrasound and microwaves as proposed by IDCO, caught our interest in optimizing our production processes by reducing extraction times and energy consumption – Today the Extractor 200 allows us to make scale-up and the Extractor 600 is a major tool in our production line "

Anne Rossignol Casteraex PDG

EDF - Recovery of dam sludge

"EDF has been working with IDCO for 10 years. IDCO's skills, its mastery of microwave solutions (for which we have not found an equivalent on the market) have enabled us to develop new methods of recovering materials and to be part of a logic of circular economy. . We particularly appreciate the responsiveness and the quality of the services provided by this company. These qualities justify that IDCO was awarded an EDF PULSE PACA prize which rewards the most innovative companies with which EDF works in the PACA region."

Patrick DurandDevelopment and innovation manager

EUROVIA - Recycling sludge into aggregates

"We have carried out several studies with the company IDCO, within the framework of projects for the recovery of industrial co-products of various kinds. The approach has always been serious, rigorous and pragmatic from the analysis of the need, the lab and pilot tests, until the delivery of the study report. These trials have enabled us to develop our strategy in different areas. We plan to work with IDCO to support our development in the recycling and recovery of co-products and waste from construction or industry."
