About
Who Are We?
Founded in 2017 in the United Kingdom, and supported by its committed investors, led by Hive Energy, Scottish Enterprise and the Founders Factory, CuanTec is a ground-breaking biotech company determined to make positive changes to the world we live in with its range of Chitosan products, supported by its high level of management practices and commitment to traceability.
We manufacture very high quality, very high specification Chitosan products.
​
We also offer a number of additional benefits to our customers:
​
- customised products as required by our partners, because we have the ability to create very high viscosity (up to 5,000 Centrepoises) and very highly Deacetylated Chitosan products (up to 93%)
- visibility and traceability of feedstock right back to the source, providing trust in the supply chain
- an environmentally-beneficial process which upcycles the shell byproduct, which is often just disposed of, impacting the environment
- professional management controls, supported by ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 accreditation
​
These benefits enable us to produce products for the pharmaceutical, biomedical, cosmetic, water purification, industrial and agricultural sectors, where the quality, the provenance and the security of supply are assured
