GFBiochemicals

"GFBiochemicals is the only company to produce levulinic acid derivatives at commercial scale directly from biomass. The company was co-founded in 2008 by Pasquale Granata and Mathieu Flamini. Our founders worked closely with a group of biobased chemical experts to find sustainable alternatives to oil-based products across a range of market sectors. Together, they developed the production technology needed for this revolution in chemicals, in partnership with the University of Pisa and the Polytechnic University of Milan, the technology’s potential was demonstrated by the Caserta plant which has been retrofitted with new conversion, recovery and purification technology. GFBiochemicals expects substantial growth in the levulinic acid market in the coming years."
