Plant-based ingredient manufacturer serving food, pharma, and bio-industrial markets
Roquette is a large-scale ingredient processor converting plant feedstocks (wheat, corn, seaweed, cellulose) into specialty chemicals for food, pharmaceutical, and bioindustrial applications. The hiring profile skews heavily toward manufacturing and engineering roles across a dozen countries, with active work on plant safety, equipment reliability, and continuous process improvement—typical of a mature production-heavy operation scaling capacity and tightening compliance.
Roquette manufactures plant-derived ingredients and chemical compounds for global clients in nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and bio-based product markets. The company operates across multiple production sites and serves customers in over 150 countries. Core operations span food additives (starches, sugars), pharmaceutical excipients, animal nutrition, and performance plastics. With 11,000 employees and a nine-decade track record, the business is structured around product lines rather than geographic segments, supported by R&D, quality assurance, and regulatory affairs functions.
Core systems include SAP ERP, ADP Workforce Now, Microsoft 365, and GCP. Analytical equipment spans HPLC, LC-MS/MS, UPLC, and GC-MS for quality control and R&D. Manufacturing operations rely on PLCs and BMS.
Current priorities include plant safety inspections and culture initiatives, equipment reliability programs, packaging upgrades, HR digitalization, and timekeeping system rollouts. Continuous improvement projects focus on chemical and microbiological process criteria.
