Based in Marseille, France, Proneem is a biotechnology company specializing in the microencapsulation of naturally derived active ingredients.
We are at the forefront of sustainable textile innovation, using advanced microencapsulation technology to embed active ingredients directly into fabrics. This enables controlled release and long-lasting performance across a wide range of applications.
By sourcing our actives from nature, we ensure our treatments are both environmentally responsible and highly effective. From moisture regulation to odor control and insect repellency, our solutions deliver targeted functionality without compromising textile quality or safety.
With deep expertise in biotechnology, our team designs high-performance treatments tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. Our technologies are compatible with a wide variety of textile types — from clothing and bedding to technical and medical fabrics.
At Proneem, we are driven by science, guided by sustainability, and committed to customer success.
Proneem is dedicated to providing innovative solutions that enhance both the performance and sustainability of textiles. Join us in transforming the textile industry with our microencapsulation technology, derived from natural sources.
We have the opportunity to build the biochemical industry of tomorrow — sustainable, microencapsulated, and made in France — delivering treatments where biodesign and performance are fully transferred to the end user.
All Proneem technologies are DEVELOPED and PRODUCED in France.
