OUR COMPANY
Founded in 2012, AFYREN is a green chemistry company that offers the industry biobased, low-carbon products thanks to its unique fermentation technology based on a completely circular model to replace the petro-sourced ingredients usually used in the formulations of many products.
OUR COMPANY
At a time when many of our everyday products are still too heavily dependent on petroleum based molecules AFYREN is offering to a wide panel of industries biosourced replacements, thanks to an environmentally friendly technology that uses natural microorganisms.
Founded in 2012, AFYREN collected more than €70 million funding in 2019, which allows the company to grow from a pilot stage to industrial-scale production.
In 2021, the Company completed its IPO on the Euronext Growth® in Paris, raising nearly €70 million in additional capital, with the objective of accelerating its industrial development.
