About
FunCell (short name for “Functionalization for Cellulosic materials”) is a French company exploiting a break-through innovation from a leading edge French academic lab (CNRS) located in Grenoble/France. This innovation is the result of years of award winning fundamental research that FunCell is now pushing to its next level by proposing a new generation of additives for cellulosic materials.
We are located in a region that used to the heart of the paper ecosystem and even if this Industry has now vanished, the paper ecosystem in the region remains very active and FunCell is a living proof of it.
Our technology is mimicking what nature is doing in plants. We extract from biomass a polymer which role in nature is to give strength to cellulosic materials and we further improve this capability by slightly modifying this polymer thanks to a green chemistry process. Our ambition is to serve large and global customers
