What INGENER8 does

INGENER8 SAS is a French private company founded in December 2020 and headquartered in Riom (Auvergne region), operating with 1–10 employees and a share capital of €5,000. The company operates a dual-business model through two principal brands: INGENER8 Développement, which provides B2B custom formulation, design, and packaging services for nutritional products (offering both turnkey development-and-production and R&D-only with third-party manufacturing), and INFLU8 Nutrition, a sports nutrition brand exclusively serving professional sports clubs, athletes, and federations with high-technicality customized products covering preparation, effort, recovery, and supplementation phases. All products are developed and manufactured in the company's in-house laboratory in Riom, with full ingredient traceability, AFNOR NFV94-001 anti-doping certification, and French/European short-supply-chain sourcing.

The underlying technology is an R&D laboratory specializing in nutritional product formulation, ingredient sourcing, and product development, with proprietary expertise in custom formula development covering carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and sport-specific ingredients. Product categories include effort drinks, recovery drinks, protein powders, and supplements, complemented by branded accessories (shaker bottles, water bottles, wall-mounted powder dispensers, cold beverage dispensers). The company differentiates through anti-doping compliant formulations, customizable packaging with club colors and athlete identifiers, flexible minimum order quantities, and eco-responsible recyclable packaging.

INGENER8 generates revenue through three streams: (1) B2B product development services (turnkey or R&D-only) to parapharmacies, pharmacy chains, fitness brands, and health/wellness retailers, priced via quote-based enterprise contracts; (2) B2B sales of INFLU8 branded sports nutrition products with custom packaging to professional clubs, federations, and elite athletes; and (3) direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales of INFLU8 products via influ8nutrition.com. Customer segmentation spans enterprise (professional sports organizations), mid-market (parapharmacy and pharmacy chains), and SMB/consumer (fitness enthusiasts). Go-to-market is primarily direct B2B enterprise field sales supplemented by an owned e-commerce storefront. The company also does business as NAGE LIBRE, which shares the Riom facility.
