The Company's History
The company from which Lucas Meyer Service GmbH emerged was founded in 1923. From the very beginning, its checkered history had to do with the natural raw materials that are still the basis of our business today. The specialization in lecithin was a continuous process that culminated in the second half of the 20th century. At least since that time, the name Lucas Meyer has been inextricably linked with the term Lecithin.

THE TEAM
Around 1985, our former family company, „Lucas Meyer – The Lecithin people“ started experimenting with supercritical fluid extraction for removing oil from crude lecithin. Ten years later a process was patented using high-pressure spray extraction with CO2. We built a pilot plant at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, successfully producing up to 50 kg/h of deoiled lecithin in a continuous process. However at that time we had already constructed a very large new deoiling plant using conventional acetone extraction technology. This plant – which came on stream 30 years ago – is still in service and the largest lecithin deoiling facility in the world with an annual production capacity of about 5.000 mt.
After our family decided to sell the lecithin business in 1999, development work on extraction by supercritical fluids was discontinued by the new owners. As a result Lucas Meyer Service GmbH decided to work on innovations in extraction, processing and marketing of lecithins – now for more than 25 years.
Today we offer up to date technology for making deoiled lecithin with pure supercritical carbon dioxide on industrial scale.
