Industrial automation firm Cybernetik is venturing into a new sphere – the extraction of organic compounds via plant-based sources to ensure purer formulations in the production of cosmetics and bio-products. Recently, the company acquired a majority stake in US-based Buffalo Extraction Systems and the latest endeavour will be undertaken through this company.
The extraction process will utilize the Supercritical Fluid COշ Extraction (SCFE) method, which aids in replacing hazardous organic solvents (such as chloroform, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, methanol, etc.) used earlier in the industry. With several advantages over traditional processes, SCFE is considered an environmentally-friendly extraction method based on the use of the generally-recognized-as-safe (GRAS) solvent COշ and high pressures.
Mahesh Wagle, Co-founder and Director of Cybernetik, said, “We are thrilled to enter a new segment that contributes to a sustainable future. In the cosmetics market, organic items are becoming increasingly important as consumers choose more environmentally-friendly, long-lasting products. The market for natural skin care products is projected to rise at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2022 to 2030. The SCFE technique will guarantee lower levels of process adulteration, a final product free of chemicals, choices for multiple recipe selection, robust process and monitor controlling, operational safety and minimal human involvement. Thanks to the innovative Supercritical Fluid COշ Extraction method, cosmetic product makers can now switch from synthetic to plant-based compounds, which are also known as ingredients of plant origin, to boost product purity and quality.”
When using cosmetics and personal care items, customers are now showing a greater preference for sustainable solutions. SCFE extracts, vegetal butters & fine fragrance molecules can be easily included in cosmetic products due to their distinctive features, the ideal texture, the absence of water or solvent traces, chemical stability and the presence of bioactive ingredients. Additionally, they offer a significant number of bioactive substances that have a variety of bioactivities in cosmetics, including antioxidants, anti-ageing, photo-protective agents and antibacterial activity.

Industrial automation firm Cybernetik will set up a new manufacturing plant in Vile Bhagad MIDC, near the Goa-Mumbai highway. At a location spanning 20 acres, the new plant will cover an area of 80,000 square metres. With 120 personnel, it will increase the firm’s production capacity by 15x. This will be the Company’s fifth manufacturing unit, besides the four existing ones in Pune and Nadiad.
Set up in 1989, the Company undertakes the designing, building and installation of end-to-end, turnkey automation systems for the Food, Agro, Pharmaceutical, Chemical and other manufacturing industries.
Elaborating on the establishment of the new plant, Mahesh Wagle, Co-Founder & Director – Cybernetik, said, “As a growing company, we are expanding operations to several markets. Given its proximity to the new Bombay-Goa Highway, plus better connectivity to the airport and port, the new plant will help in catering to the US and other export markets. Increasing demand for quality products is one of the key factors driving the growing trend for integrating robotics to automate manufacturing processes. Around 15 years ago, Indian industries had less than 100 robots manufactured within the country. Currently, we have 5,000 to 6,000 robots being built every year. Moreover, manual processes involve a higher degree of risk for the labour force, prompting companies to install automated processes to ensure error-free, safe operations. Our vision to boost this trend was the major motive for setting up the new plant.”
Cybernetik is actively involved in the development of many systems and processes to automate food processing, automotive and other non-standard products, along with emerging technologies such as EV battery assembly. Accordingly, it has partnered with leading firms such as Hershey, Cipla, GSK, Tata Motors, TVS, Dr Reddy’s, Godrej, Hindustan Unilever, Pidilite, ITC and Himalaya, among many others. It has also worked with some of the world’s biggest robotic manufacturers, including ABB, Mitsubishi, et al.
