Groupe Berkem

Berkem specialises in plant extraction. Our company targets the high value-added cosmetics and agri-food industries, which we support through the supply of natural active ingredients extracted from plant materials for formulation purposes.

Adkalis produces, supplies and distributes preservative solutions that increase the performance of materials in construction, especially wood, by improving their durability. These product ranges are intended for more technical markets such as wood processing (for example sawyers, carpenters and joiners) and construction (buildings and maintenance & renovation).

Eurolyo has been specialising in freeze-drying since 1995. This process extracts water from products through sublimation, a technique carried out at a very low temperature and under a vacuum. It can therefore be adapted to many sectors, including the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and agri-food industries, thereby preserving the intrinsic characteristics of products, and, in turn, increasing their shelf life and facilitating their transport and storage.

Since 1960, Lixol has been producing industrial resins and derivatives for the paint, construction, wood treatment and ink industries at its site in Gironde. The company specialises in the production of resins known as ‘alkyds,’ which are made from plant oils, various raw materials derived from organic chemistry and petroleum solvents.
