Unlocking access to rare plant-based compounds through biotechnology

Transforming how high-value plant compounds are discovered and produced

Our proprietary bioproduction platform, SATIVITRO®, redefines the sourcing of plant actives by turning plant hairy roots into an ideal natural factory. This unique biomass enables the large-scale production of targeted bioactives. 

 Where traditional cultivation struggles to meet market demands limited by low yields, seasonal constraints, and variability, our biotech solution ensures standardization, traceability, and scalability. 

We partner with companies who share our vision : a future where natural compounds are sustainably produced to enhance human health and well-being. 

« We wish to allow a shift in the paradigm of pharmaceutical and cosmetic bioproduction, towards a safer and greener industry. »

Revealing nature’s hidden potential

Many valuable plant-derived compounds hold enormous potential but remain difficult to access through conventional sourcing due to their rarity, instability, or presence in only trace amounts. 

STH BIOTECH was born from this challenge : by engineering plant roots, we enable the production of high-yield biomass that generates significant amounts of targeted bioactives. 

Our mission is to make plant-based innovation more accessible and responsible, leveraging biotechnology to combine scientific precision with environmental responsibility.

SATIVITRO® : a breakthrough platform for natural bioproduction

Hairy root induction

We initiate fast-growing root systems through a natural transformation process in liquid media, without soil, light, or pesticides.

Metabolic Engineering

When needed, we identify metabolic bottlenecks to precisely engineer plants and enhance the biosynthesis of specific compounds.

Scalable Bioproduction

Roots are transferred into bioreactors where they produce high amounts of targeted plant actives with consistent quality. 

Transforming plant compounds into scalable solutions

We develop sustainable plant-based ingredients with broad potential for diverse applications. Our portfolio includes a growing catalog of ready-to-use compounds, complemented by tailor-made developments to address specific needs, delivering consistent, scalable, and innovative solutions.
