Novasep expands and opens subsidiary in India

Novasep, a leading supplier of manufacturing solutions to the life sciences industry, has announced it is expanding its presence in India with the opening of Novasep Process Engineering Services PCT Ltd, a part of its Industrial Business Unit. The new office will enable Novasep to serve more closely industries in India producing functional and commodity food and feed ingredients, milk derivatives and bio-based chemicals.
 

 
Michel Cotillon, formerly R&D head of the industrial biotech business and then its area sales manager for France and Benelux, has been promoted to head the subsidiary as General Manager.
 
Novasep’s Indian subsidiary will provide expert local support to sugar mill operators in India to integrate Novasep’s optimised processes. These processes enhance the quality of fine liquors, increase sugar production yields or competitively produce liquid sugar with ApplexionTM ion exchange, a technology pioneered by Novasep and today largely used in the food industry.
 
For the Indian dairy industry, Novasep will provide local expertise in developing cost-effective processes that guarantee the performance of: whey demineralisation using electro-dialysis reaching D50-70 whey grade or combined with Applexion ion exchange to reach D90 whey grade; lactose purification with Applexion ion exchange and nano-filtration; production of crystalline lactose using Applexion SSMB chromatography.

Novasep will continue to sell biopharma chromatography equipment and associated processes in India.
 
Novasep India will continue to collaborate with the Nilsan Nishotech Systems Pvt Ltd team, which has represented Novasep in India for more than 20 years. Nilsan Nishotech will remain the exclusive agent for Novasep for industrial biotech and biopharma purification processes and systems in India.
