Thomas Ricour
Directeur Technique & Développement Business, ISITEC-LAB
MBA marketing & management of food-processing industries and Master in chemistry.
More than 10 years of experience, in one hand in Research and set-up of worlwide partnerships for purchase and distribution of analysis equipments for small and middle size companies, and in the other hand in R&D.
From the end of 2004 till beginning of 2008, I've set-up and co-managed SEPPAL, specialised in import & distribution of automatic equipments, consumables and enzymatic kits for food-processing, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceutical application fields.
At the beginning of 2008, with the merger of SEPPAL with ISITEC-LAB, manufacturer of injection flow analysers, granulometers and titrators, we became one of the French leaders of analysis equipment for oenological and environmental fields, while diversifying towards food-processing industry, chemicals/pharma and industry.
We propose key-hands analytical solutions (equipments, consumables, enzymatic kits and maintenance), including elemental analysis, biochemical, new or refurbished machines, from 100 to 800 test/hour, injection flow analysers, but also specific analyzers for CO2 determination in beverages, tartaric stability, pH, acidity...
With more than 10 years of experience in infrared spectroscopy: FTIR, NIR and now RAMAN.
We manage analytical projects: on-line, in-line, hand-held, from the phase of the advice up to the final supply, implementation and technical assistance.
We are partner and distributor of the world leader of NIR AOTF technology, Brimrose(USA), with especially on-line applications and at-line (raw material identification, blenders, lyophilisators, polymers, cardboards...) for pharmaceutical, food-processing and chemistry application fields.
