About Vitalis

Founded in 2016, Vitalis was the first to make large-scale supercritical CO2 extraction of natural ingredients accessible. Since then, we have continued to pioneer innovations that push the limits of extraction and refinement to support the success of our clients, big and small.

As a vertically integrated original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of CO2-based technologies, we’re known for reliable solutions that provide great economics, high performance, and environmental sustainability.

Vitalis technologies stem from our core competency in CO2 handling and application engineering. In addition to processing equipment, our product lines include R744 natural refrigerant heating and cooling solutions as well as CO2 recovery and distillation.

With customers on five continents and in-country support centers spread across the globe, we’re proud to support global decarbonization efforts through the deployment of clean technology.
