New innovations are the driving force behind Timac's industrial and commercial success. The company has well established links with some of the best French and European universities, and with internationally acclaimed research bodies such as INRA and INSERM. A large number of university students attend company courses and complete industrial placements with Timac.

Each year, over 30 research projects are undertaken by students supervised by their universities in association with Timac's R&D team. Several of these projects have led to patents being filed.

For in-depth research, Timac works in partnership with well established research institutes equipped with the latest technology. Through these different research channels, Timac has developed a number of important innovations, including new leaf and root feeds, fertiliser systems specifically designed for particular soil types, and new granulation techniques.
