1903 RESEARCH AND SOLUTIONS
Professional and experienced team
1903RS was founded by a team of PhDs in Sciences specializing in formulation and odor chemistry.
Graduated from the National School of Chemistry at the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse and the Institute of Industrial Promotion, we are at the origin of numerous communications, developments, and publications on topics related to formulation and olfaction in many countries.
With experiences leading Research and Development laboratories, commercial departments, and industrial operations, our expertise, built over 20 years, enables us to address many of your challenges with a personalized and innovative approach.
The creation of 1903RS emerged from the intersection of two worlds: the first being research and decades-long work in olfaction and pollutants, and the second being industry facing new environmental challenges but lacking simple and effective solutions.
From this synergy, new technical approaches are developed daily, combining coherence and pragmatism to always be close to our clients' challenges.
The 1903RS team has won several scientific awards
A candidacy endorsed by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Conference of Grandes Écoles for the exchange program between France, Germany, and Japan in the fields of environment and high technology.

Dr. Sandrine CADALEN
CEO of 1903 Research & Solutions
After 20 years serving various operators and industrial clients in France and around the globe, I decided to start my own business in early 2021.
Through this venture, I aimed to develop innovations with my team that address issues related to olfactory nuisances and pollution.
What drives and motivates us every day is the opportunity to provide industrial and community managers with peace of mind, tranquility, expertise, and in short, solutions to ensure and grow their activities in a serene and preserved environment.
As Albert Einstein famously said
“Inventing is thinking beside.”
Our guiding principle, our objective, is to distinguish ourselves by working with noble materials, by adopting an original and sometimes unconventional but innovative approach, by minimizing the environmental impact of our products, by providing our clients with technical tools and assistance around our solutions, and ultimately by taking into account the material and economic constraints we face.
Today, more than ever, I believe in our approach based on relationships, listening, availability, responsiveness, ethics, and direct exchanges.
My company is and will remain a place of relevant and pragmatic scientific creation, dedicated to serving and listening to its clients, and committed to our environment.
Our approach in 7 points:
A relationship based on EXCHANGE and SUPPORT throughout YOUR projects.
Will propose for 7-step approach to meet your YOUR specific needs.
We analyze TOGETHER your issues and define jointly a specification sheet.
We proceed with a feasibility study at no cost in the continuation of this draft.
We present our conclusions and recommendations and develop, with your approval, YOUR solution.
Once the solution is validated, we remain by your side throughout its deployment, providing ongoing support at no additional cost during the lifespan of the products and technologies implemented.
Our commitments in 7 points :
Providing you with products of consistent QUALITY in the shortest LEAD TIMES and at the best PRICE.
LISTENING to you, responding promptly to all your EXPECTATIONS.
Using quality materials selected for their EFFECTIVENESS.
Developing products as SAFE as possible for both humans and the environment.
Providing you with SUPPORT and technical assistance throughout our COLLABORATION.

Why the dandelion as our spearhead?
Symbolism of the DANDELION FLOWER
The dandelion is a wild and widespread plant, it never had any particular meaning in the Victorian language of flowers. However, both medieval peasants and modern spiritualists have always regarded it as a special flower. Its admirers see the dandelion as a symbol of the struggle against life's challenges. Its color reminds the power of the sun, and its lion-tooth petals encourage positivity and resilience.
Finally, popular belief holds that anyone who blows the seed head into the wind will have their wish granted.
