The ITERG Group

Who are we? 

An Industrial Technical Center (ITC), Institute of Fats & Related Products, in Canéjan (France) and its subsidiary IMPROVE, dedicated to enhancement of plant proteins,
in Dury (80).

These two entities create a unique group, a leader in the valorization of lipids and proteins, at the service of the agricultural and agro-industrial sectors, in phase with the expectations of industry.

"We reveal the potential of vegetable oils and proteins, through natural ingredients that are good for people and the planet, thanks to high-performance Research, Development & Innovation services and eco-responsible processes."

ITERG participates in the development of the fats and related products industries : fats, vegetable oils and oil co-products, vegetable proteins and minor compounds derived from these products.

ITERG provides companies with skills and infrastructures for Production, Research and Expertise: Analysis, Crushing/Refining, Green chemistry, Health Nutrition, Environment.

It contributes to the creation of value and the competitiveness of the industrial fabric, from upstream to downstream.

IMPROVE SAS has pilot equipment (kg scale) enabling the development and scaling up of processes, the production of samples, and a complete analytical centre enabling the full characterization of the products developed (in particular protein and amino acid composition, composition of anti-nutritional factors and content of other compounds of interest, functional properties, biological properties, etc.).

With its subsidiary IMPROVE, ITERG adds to its expertise in oils and fats the valorisation of the protein fraction of agro-resources. The synergy of skills and expertise thus created enables the optimisation of the uses of all fractions, products and co-products from these agro-resources.
