CSL
WE ARE PROBIOTIC MAKERS
CSL Centro Sperimentale del Latte is an Italian company whose aim is to scientifically demonstrate the importance of lactic acid bacteria in the human body.
Today, Centro Sperimentale del Latte researches, develops, manufactures and sells probiotic strains intended for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food and agro-livestock industries. These probiotics include lactic acid bacteria as well as other microorganisms.
After its acquisition in 2013, and together with Sacco, CSL has gained additional skills, knowhow and capabilities that have allowed them to become one of the most recognised and reliable companies in the probiotic industry.
The collaboration of our two companies (CSL and Sacco) with such vast expertise, has enabled the creation of an extensive collection of microbial strains that have been isolated and selected over the years for their probiotic properties. These strains cover several health applications including gastrointestinal health, oral health, skin health, women’s health, children’s health, allergy, immunity and sports among others.
CSL also offers a highly flexible toll manufacturing service (from laboratory scale to pilot production) and can work in partnership with strain owners for the development, production and commercialization of their own probiotic strains, produced in our cutting edge manufacturing facilities.
