FAQ

Fermentation scale-up is the process of moving a microbial process from laboratory conditions (a few liters) to industrial production (tens of thousands of liters). It’s not simply a volume increase. It involves making the bioprocess robust, reproducible, and controllable, while managing quality, regulatory compliance, and production costs. Scale-up covers fermentation itself (USP), downstream processing (DSP), and when the final product is a powder, drying processes (lyophilization, spray-drying).

Yes. We support our clients with tailored flavor solutions: development of a specific molecule, adjustment of the sensory profile, formulation, regulatory or technical adaptation. Our R&D and marketing teams work closely with you.

Proficiency in English is an asset, especially for internationally oriented positions (R&D, export sales…). However, many roles are accessible with fluent French only.

Ennolys is a Business Unit of the Lesaffre group, a global player in fermentation. This connection gives us access to an international network, advanced R&D tools, and a strong corporate culture, while maintaining a human scale and local autonomy.

You can view our job offers on the Lesaffre group’s recruitment platform. Spontaneous applications are also possible via our contact form under the “Recruitment” category.

Our teams are organized into several departments:

• Production & Fermentation
• Research & Development
• Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE)
• Support functions (HR, finance, maintenance, marketing…)
• Customer service & logistics

At Ennolys, safety is a top priority. Each project is conducted in compliance with quality standards (ISO, FSSC certifications) and follows strict safety protocols. The involvement of QHSE teams from the early stages ensures regulatory compliance and reliability of results.

Our teams include PhDs, engineers, and specialized technicians in microbiology, biotechnology, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and process engineering. All work closely with production, quality, and marketing departments.

Our projects include:

• Development of natural aromatic molecules
• Selection and optimization of microbial strains
• Continuous improvement of our processes (yield, sustainability)
• Collaboration with clients for tailored solutions

Innovation is at the heart of our strategy. It translates into:

• The development of new natural aromatic molecules
• Deep expertise in biotechnology and fermentation
• Active collaboration with scientific partners and clients
