Growth in the future
On the way to XXIst century
Cultivating innovation, industrial "savoir-faire" and detecting new markets
contribute in making AB7 Industries a company :
- capable of transferring basic technologies toward industry ;
- showinga sizeable expansion with strong added-value products ;
- And whose scientific and industrial backgrond helps to
promote its technological "savoir-faire" for other branches of industry.
Thus several technologies settled by AB7 Industries expand worldwide
within innovating companies or huge international groups.

Industrial "savoir-faire"
The development of research by AB7 Industries is favoured by a comprehensive, efficient
land adapted industrial pole. Indeed, the industrial pole of AB7 controls and adapts fine
and complex technologies making use of :
- Galenic ;
- Microencapsulation;
- Storing active agents in polymeric matrixes with controlled liberation ;
- Plasturgy of plant polymers which puts AB7 among the ranks of lasting development instigators.
The industrial outfit has been created to manufacture a wide range of products, but
also to meet all the polyvalency, flexibility, reactiveness and quality requirements.
A dynamic and expanding research enhanced by a flexible and reactive
industrial system are the keys to AB7 success.

Products and their markets
Products and their matching markets divide in three basic poles :
- Bacterial and enzymatic products to getting rid of pollution and houehold products ;
- Biochemical products for comfort and sparetime activities ;
- Intelligent plastics applied to various fields :
veterinary,
cosmetic, textile, and household goods.
These goods, mainly aimed at all types of customers, are noticeable on special
markets as often as possile, but they also constantly bring a great deal of
advanced technology and innovation.
These goods are sold by :
- Either by specialized stores or mass-marketing stores ;
- Or by National distributors in France and abroad.
AB7 veterinary laboratory (AB7 iV)
creates, manufactures and spells specific products
with external use for cattle, horses, cats and dogs and also aquarium fishes.
The laboratory is also a subcontractor for pharmaceutical French and foreign laboratories.

R & D "savoir-faire"
The AB7 Industries R&D pole relies on various "savoir-faire" :
- Molecular chemistry ;
- Biochemistry and biotechnology ;
- Surfactants chemistry ;
- Smart polymers, active polymers ;
- Green chemistry (from plant polymers) ;
- Cosmetology and veterinary pharmacology ;
- Biochemical engineering ;
- Computing.
Thanks to its comprehensive analytic laboratory, AB7 works independently on its research.
The main lines of its research depend on detecting needs of market.
A close partnership with public laboratories allows AB7 Industries to enjoy and
use the progress done by basic and applied research.

Aquarium
The roots
AB7 Industries former SETRIC, was created in 1972 by
Mr René CHELLE (Chairman and Managing Director).
SETRIC specialized in biotechnologies, collaborating with French and
foreign laboratories, and its goals have been mainly :
- Fermentation technology : bacteria, yeasts, enzymes ...
- Biotechnological engineering : fermentation bioreactors equipped with
all their electronical measuring and regulating outfit with ccomputerized
assistance.
- Aquariology which will put AB7 Industries among the top-ranking European
aquarium manufacturers of the 90ies.
