About us

Sereco Biotest was set up in 1976 as a result of a merger between Biotest, created in 1969 as a chemical and biochemical analytical laboratory and Sereco, an environmental engineering consultancy. Sereco Biotest has rapidly grown to become a leader in the field of advanced environmental services in Umbria. Now Sereco Biotest stands out as a dynamical structure active in providing fore-front R&D in the field of environmental technology and industrial ecology basing on a synergic integration of different skills. Prestigious national and international project experiences, in collaboration with private and public research centres and Universities, enriched Sereco’s expertise so as to assume the role of a “high tech shuttle structure”, capable of transferring the results of base research into an industrial context. Sereco Biotest staff is made up of highly-specialized professionals of diverse backgrounds (chemists, biologists, engineers, geologists, agronomists). The company holds several patents regarding ground-breaking environmental technologies specifically in the fields of biogas reactors and abatement of nutrients with recovery under the form of upgraded, biobased fertilizers. Sereco has taken parts to numerous scientific research projects granted by the EC and other national and international authorities that could realise the aim of putting into practice through piloting experiences deployed in relevant industrial environment the state-of-the art ideas developed in Sereco’s technological incubator.
