аgroCO2 is a family-owned company specializing in supercritical fluid extraction with CO2 (SFE) of herbs, seeds, grains, nuts, fruits and oil-bearing crops, which can be used as flavors and fragrances, nutraceutical ingredients and natural colorants in the feed, food and beverage industries as well as in perfume and cosmetics formulation. We also are able to defatten and increase protein concentration in various press cakes or raw materials for the food and feed industries. We are proud that our CO2 extraction plant is one of the largest in Eastern Europe with an industrial extraction capacity (net extractor volume) of 1800L.
аgroCO2 is trustworthy partner for toll & contract manufacturing and scale-up thanks to a strong and diligent team. We offer lab and pilot scale testing which allows us to both develop products for clients and to precisely plan industrial production.
our story
Our love for nature and science combined with our know-how in farming, agriculture and industrial processing, drove us to invest in an innovative extraction plant and R&D lab located in Bulgaria, a leading country in the production of both wild and cultivated herbs, medicinal plants, and oil-bearing crops.
agroCO2 production facility and quality control operate in full compliance with FSSC 22000, ISO 22716 & ISO 9001 standards. Our production lines are also organic, Kosher and Halal certified.
As a company with expertise in farming for more than 10 years, we can cultivate the raw material on our own farmlands and supply our SFE plant directly from the fields. This allows our team of agronomists, farmers, and pharmacologists to have total control over the complete growing and production processes and to assure that the extract is of the highest quality.
location
Our extraction plant and farmlands are located in the Danubian Plain, Northwest Bulgaria. We are perfectly positioned to handle logistics via road transport with our partners across Europe as well as the rest of the world via the Bosphorus.
sustainability
The company has set out to adopt the best practices that it possibly can to strive towards net-zero operations. The CO2 that we use for our extraction purposes is a by-product from fermentation processes. We have also invested in PV solar energy for electric needs and have adopted no-till agricultural practices, and more.
mission & vision
Our mission is to offer nature in a concentrated form through CO2 extraction obtained in an ecologically-friendly way in our own state-of-the-art facility. Our natural extracts have broad applications in food, beverage and feed additives, cosmetics and medicinal products. We are also eager to support industry partners on their journey to develop innovative products through research and scale-up. One of our key philosophies is to maximize the circularity of ingredients and by-products in the industries we serve. Waste streams can be turned into clean and valuable assets for our clients utilizing our versatile technological platform.
