New Offer Structure: 2 Business Units Supporting Your Projects

Published on 30/09/25

At Smaltis, our ambition remains unchanged: bringing microbiological excellence to your innovations.
To better address the diversity of your needs, we have structured our offer around 2 complementary Business Units, true pillars of our scientific and technical commitment.

Research Microbiology – Develop, Innovate, Achieve
This first unit is dedicated to supporting your research, development, and innovation projects. You benefit from a tailored scientific partnership to transform your ideas into reliable and actionable results.

Precision Microbiology – Access, Preserve, Control
This second unit is designed to ensure the quality, compliance, and performance of your microbiological products. You gain access to reliable, documented, and adaptable solutions tailored to your industrial or regulatory requirements.

Why this evolution?
This two-pillar structure makes it easier to identify available expertise, streamline collaboration, and more effectively address your needs—whether in exploratory research or industrial quality control.
More than ever, we remain committed to working by your side with transparency, scientific rigor, and agility.

Message from Cédric, President of Smaltis:

“It’s not new. It’s clearer! Eleven years ago, together with Sophie Guénard, we founded Smaltis with a simple idea: to put our science at the service of others’ projects.
Today, this is not a novelty — it’s a clearer expression of what we’ve been doing since day one.
Research Microbiology is our core business: designing methods and solutions, developing and validating them to deliver robust data that guide decisions.
We’ve taken the time to structure and name this expertise so it can be even easier to activate.

After vision comes precision. With 11 years of supported projects, we’ve observed a very clear need among our clients: reliable, fast, and standardized microbiological routine solutions — without compromising scientific rigor. That’s exactly why we created our second Business Unit: Precision Microbiology.
Objective: to produce, store, analyze, and secure your microbiological resources with the same level of rigor we apply to R&D… but adapted to your daily operational needs.

🔎 Research when innovation is needed.
🔬 Precision when it’s time to execute accurately and fast.

Two offerings, one philosophy: serving your projects with seriousness, simplicity, and commitment.”
