The BIOLANDES story began in 1980 when Dominique Coutière decided to start up a company in the heart of the Landes, south of Bordeaux. He wanted to distill maritime pine needles from the largest cultivated forest in Europe..
He developed a process of automated continuous distillation which would also be applied to extraction several years later..
The pine needle oil was being sold to the perfume industry while the waste of distillation was converted into two original by-products: composted, it is used in gardening, and dried, it is burnt as a natural source of energy.
Since 1988, BIOLANDES has chosen to set up factories directly on the production sites of several of the main aromatic plants: Spain (1988), Turkey (1991), Madagascar (1995), Bulgaria (1996), Morocco (1998), Provence , France (2004) and Comoros (2014).
BIOLANDES has quickly become a leading producer of natural extracts for the perfumery industry.
Leading producer of essential oils and extracts for perfumes, cosmetics and flavors, BIOLANDES offers today a range of 300 products extracted from 80 plants collected in 30 countries.

L’histoire de BIOLANDES débute en 1980 lorsque Dominique Coutière décide de créer une entreprise au cœur des Landes, au sud de Bordeaux, pour distiller les aiguilles de pin maritime dans la plus grande forêt cultivée d’Europe.
Il met au point un procédé de distillation en continu automatisé, qui sera appliqué à l’extraction quelques années plus tard.
L’essence de pin est destinée à la parfumerie et les résidus de distillation sont valorisés car compostés, ils sont transformés en terreaux pour le jardinage ou séchés, ils sont valorisés en énergie.
A partir de 1988, BIOLANDES choisit de s’implanter directement sur les lieux de culture et de collecte de plantes aromatiques importantes : Espagne (1988), Turquie (1991), Madagascar (1995), Bulgarie (1996), Maroc (1998), Provence (2004) et Comores (2014).
BIOLANDES est devenu un des premiers producteurs d’extraits naturels pour la parfumerie.
Producteur majeur d’huiles essentielles et d’extraits pour la parfumerie, la cosmétique, l'aromathérapie et les arômes, BIOLANDES offre aujourd’hui une gamme aromatique de 300 produits issus de 80 matières végétales collectées dans 30 pays.
