Pharma

Approximately 25% of all pharmaceuticals on the market are based on compounds originally found in plants or are still extracted from them. There is an increasing interest in nature as a vital source of new, innovative substances having numerous applications. Plant-derived molecules possess chemical structures that evolved to function with a living system.

ROOTec positions itself as preferred business partner for:
