EDITORIAL

EMAC is an independent French SME specializing in the formulation and the production of both black and colored technical rubber mixtures.

Since its creation in 1950, EMAC has been located next to Mauléon in the heart of French Basque Country.
As a leader in the French rubber compounding industry, EMAC has become a well-known player in various industrial sectors such as the automotive, railroad, building and construction, aeronautic, space, adhesive and sealants, luxury goods, health care and cabling industries.

Since July 2006, we have based our strategy on high added value R&D focusing on nano and biomaterials all within the framework of collaborative programs.
As responsible industrialists, it is our duty to find new sustainable solutions for future generations.

EMAC adapts to global realities, continues its international growth and duly fulfills its responsibilities.
To that end, EMAC depends on its values: it is and will remain true to its roots, to its word, to the earth we call home while always committed to a job well done.
This is how we’ll improve !

PROJET RESET (2015 > 2018)

Objectives:

> Implementing a new and artificial biosynthetic pathway of terpenes that could be used in fermentation (in vivo) and bioconversion (in vitro)

> Searching for genes that code for kinases that affect different kinds of alcohols and alcohol-phosphates

> Using these genes coding for kinases to implement a biosynthetic pathway in a microorganism. This would aim at biosynthesising target compounds such as prenylated aromatic compounds or sesquiterpene hydrocarbons.

> Using so-called kinases to produce through bioconversion targets such as prenylated aromatic compounds or rubber with a high molar mass.

Project partners:

The French Institute for Molecular Sciences in Marseille (ism2)

> The Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymères Organiques (LCPO), French Chemistry Laboratory for Organic Polymers

> The Laboratoire de Criblage des Activités de Bioconversion (LCAB/Genoscope), French Screening Laboratory for Bioconversion Activities

> Charabot

Labelling: PASS and Xylofutur

Funding: ANR (French National Agency for Research) and Institutional Regional Organizations
