Founded in 1986, FLAVEX Naturextrakte GmbH is today one of the world’s leading suppliers of high-quality CO₂ extracts derived from herbs and spices. The current product portfolio comprises more than one hundred extracts, all of which are developed and produced at the company’s site in Rehlingen-Siersburg, Germany.

Valuable plant compounds and bioactive ingredients from herbs and spices - including antioxidants, natural flavour compounds, essential oils, and specialty fatty oils - are gently extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide. This process preserves their full natural potency, purity, and sensory quality.

CO₂ extracts are highly concentrated and effective at low dosages, making them ideal as bioactive ingredients, fragrance components, or natural flavourings in finished products for the food, dietary supplement and cosmetics industries. FLAVEX offers an extensive portfolio of vegan, organic, halal, and kosher certified extracts, meeting the highest standards of quality and purity.
