He created Ecosystem in 1989 to enhance the value of his discoveries of researcher biologist and he still ensures today the research and development of his company. The innovations resulting from the research of Frederic POTTECHER are the key success of Ecosystem. The strength of Frederic POTTECHER is his capacity to really create natural and innovative products of an exceptional effectiveness, which are developed in their own high technology laboratory.

The Ecosystem company was several times awarded among the most competitive companies in France on the “Deloitte Technology Fast 50 » challenge.

From the beginning, Frederic POTTECHER chose to offer only exceptional products. The basis idea is to develop products, which have something special, something that no one has on the market and make it available for everybody. The development is very expensive and it needs several years of research, but, when the products are ready, there is always an important success.

Several months ago the company brought out two lines of chocolates that has a particularly strong anti-stress effect (chocolate coated almonds and soy beans). Another very interesting product, is their new range of  Tea-wine “Cafrine”, a naturally fermented beverage made from green organic tea and other plant extracts: Nectar Doré, Rosé fruité, Rouge Cranberry, Apéritif Safran.
