Science is Our Foundation. Nature is Our Inspiration.
Afriplex was founded in 2001 in Paarl, South Africa, with a clear vision: to unlock the potential of African botanicals through rigorous research, advanced technologies, and pharmaceutical-grade innovation. Africa hosts one of the world’s richest botanical diversities, with a long history of traditional use, and we translate this heritage into validated, standardised, and commercially viable ingredients through advanced extraction technologies and GMP manufacturing.
From a specialist extraction company, Afriplex has evolved into a vertically integrated botanical innovation and manufacturing organisation serving global pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, wellness, and functional food markets. Today, we operate at the intersection of botanical expertise, formulation development, and regulated manufacturing, delivering ingredients and solutions that combine nature’s complexity with technical precision.
