Our History

Continued investment to create a Center of Excellence for bioprocessing manufacturing, research and development, and an applications laboratory. Opening in early 2026, the new facility is located in the Biopole Clermont-Limagne Life Science Technology Park in Riom, France.

VERDOT expands single-use manufacturing capacity and adds office space to accommodate personnel growth.

Single-use TFF system versatility for all filtration steps from clarification to formulation and scalability from pilot scale to commercial manufacturing.

Single-use chromatography system providing scalability and uncompromised performance, from process development to commercial manufacturing.

— PilMod™ Chromatography Column for process development & pilot scale studies. — USDA approval for a modified InPlace™ Chromatography Column design.

Benchtop system for small-scale GMP chromatography processes.

Automated packing & unpacking with motorized axial compression technology.

[1997] EasyPack™ Chromatography Column with semi-automated packing & unpacking. [2003] Custom-designed 2-meter chromatography column.

[1988] First chromatography column with motorized axial compression technology. [1990] First custom stainless steel skid for the biopharmaceutical industry.

During the 1970s, the workshop grew as it started to specialize in the manufacturing of custom prototypes, sub-assemblies and intricate equipment using stainless steel and plastic materials. In the 1980’s, the expertise in designing, fabricating and manufacturing custom stainless steal machinery provided the opportunity to pivot towards biopharmaceutical equipment manufacturing.

VERDOT began as a small family-owned workshop in Riom, France. Under the guidance of Mr. Charles Verdot, the workshop focused on fabricating and machining high-quality products. Michelin, with headquarters located nearby in Clermont-Ferrand, was a prominent customer.
