The FUTUROL PROJECT aims to develop and market an end-to-end process for producing second generation bioethanol. On 11 October 2011, the project forged ahead to a new stage in its development with the commissioning of a first French pilot plant on the Pomacle-Bazancourt site.

This decisive step makes the production of second generation bioethanol a reality and will validate, on a pre-industrial scale, the findings of research conducted since 2008. Over the next three years, the technology choices needed to kick-off industrial production will be confirmed.
 

The Board of Directors has appointed Christophe de Saint Louvent Chief Executive Officer of Lesaffre et Cie. Lesaffre is the world leader in bakery yeast and yeast extracts.

The Louis Lesaffre Cup ASIA PACIFIC selection round brings to a brilliant close a series of four worldwide selections and provides us with the names of the lucky fnalists : Japan and South Korea are now on the list of countries qualifed to compete in the 2012 Coupe
du Monde de la Boulangerie (Bakery World Cup).

After the American and European zones, the Louis Lesaffre Cup international selection rounds continue with the Africa Mediterranean zone. This will take place from 22nd to 25th March 2011 at the Crémai show in Casablanca (Morocco).

Lesaffre is launching Kastalia 1:1, a new liquid yeast formula specifcally
intended for craft bakers. Due of the “1 kg of compressed yeast = 1 kg
of liquid yeast” equivalence, measuring is simplified. Processes and
recipes remain unchanged. That’s the strenght behind this innovation!
