…and ability to produce and deliver at scale.

A real-world solution is only as good as its ability to reach consumers when they need it, at the volume they need and in perfect quality. As a biotech powerhouse, we develop solutions at large scale at speed. That means moving efficiently from the lab to delivery of high-quality products to customers worldwide at a cost-efficient commercial scale.

This is all thanks to our unmatched fermentation, production, supply-chain- and scale-up capabilities. And we continuously strive to improve through technology development, process excellence and lean methodologies.

We also have systems in place to ensure we meet global standards across our global production units. Our ISO 9001 and FSSC 22000 certificates are proof of our dedication to delivering high-quality products to our customers.

A commitment to delivering on time is part of our DNA. Our strong global presence across four continents keeps us close to customers and ensures a flexible setup, enabling us to produce just what you need - when you need it. One of our core strengths is that some of our production facilities can produce many different types of biosolutions, allowing us to pivot if any production sites are shut down.

We deliver - even during a crisis

Our delivery systems have passed the COVID-19 test.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, there was a significantly higher demand from some of our customers. We broke delivery records both at our European and US production sites to meet those demands, so that we not only kept up, but even shortened delivery times for our customers in need.
