Lis by Lesaffre

About us

LIS by Lesaffre is a major European player in drying ingredients for food, feed, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals markets, with 2 production sites in France & Poland.

With 50 years of experience in the field, we can support you in your growth, from laboratory to pilot and industrial scale on various technologies : standard spray-drying, continuous drying in a vacuum tunnel, and the latest addition of electrostatic spray-drying (PolarDry®).

Our Process & Innovation team provides full support from feasibility studies at the Powder Studio™ , to scaling-up on pilot and industrial equipment.

Our range of equipment covers various drying capacities: Towers sizes, single- stage and multiple-stage spray drying towers, vacuum drying, offering the possibility to obtain a variety of powder types (fine powders, micro-granulated powders, high- and low-density powders).

In addition to vacuum-belt drying, we expanded our range of gentle & protective drying services with the PolarDry® technology. This electrostatic spray-drying under nitrogen,  is particularly suitable for products requiring advanced microencapsulation, such as aromatic molecules, colors, essential oils, or low-temperature drying such as live microorganisms, probiotics and certain proteins.

Our environmental commitments are reflected in the ISO 50001 certification and the start of a new biomass boiler in France in 2024. This 85% decarbonization of our drying activity also benefits all our customers who are committed to a CSR approach (Corporate Social Responsibility) and have environmental imperatives to respect. 
Our commitment also extends to LIS Polka, where a biomass heater is currently under construction.
