About Natac

Natac is a biotechnology company specializing in the research, development, and manufacturing of sustainable natural ingredients. Founded in 2010 by Antonio Delgado Romero (CEO) and José Carlos Quintela Fernández (Vice President), the company operates on a “Science to Market” philosophy. The firm's business model is centered on vertical integration and strategic alliances with farmers and agri-food companies, ensuring traceability and quality control from the raw material to the final product.

The company produces a wide range of ingredients, including plant extracts and functional lipids like Omega-3 oils, for diverse industries such as nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, cosmetics, and animal feed. It has a particular focus on Mediterranean botanicals like olive, grape, and saffron. Natac's product portfolio includes conventional ingredients, branded ingredients supported by clinical studies, organic-certified products, and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). A key offering is its 'Full Spectrum' line, which uses the entire plant to preserve the full range of its bioactive compounds.

Natac's headquarters and primary R&D facilities are in Spain, with commercial offices in the United States and Singapore to serve a global market. The company has significantly expanded its production capabilities, notably with a multi-product factory in Hervás, Extremadura, capable of processing 3,000 tons of raw material annually, and Spain's largest omega-3 production plant in As Somozas. This expansion supports a business model based on a circular economy, aiming for zero waste and zero emissions through initiatives like the SUSTAINEXT project. The company has engaged in over 45 R&D projects, often in collaboration with European institutions.
