What we do

We produce protein (enzyme) products used for industrial applications in diverse consumer and industrial markets, ranging from grain processing to cleaning and textiles to biofuels and biosafety.

Customer benefits from biotech

We work with our customers and apply our years of experience to help them use our enzyme technology to:

• Improve the efficiencies and outcomes of their manufacturing processes
• Improve the quality and value-added features of their products
• Reduce production costs to increase their profits
• Help their products have a more sustainable profile

Our expertise in process development and protein engineering has resulted in the creation of new biobased materials and products that touch peoples’ lives everyday.

Alternate sources of energy from natural resources

As "biorefineries" replace oil refineries, society and the environment will benefit from the switch from rapidly dwindling fossil fuels to renewable raw materials as a source of energy, materials, and chemicals.

Genencor seeks out and has entered into public and private alliances for the development of novel biochemicals, biomaterials, and alternate sources of energy from natural resources. In addition to our proven skills in pathway engineering and developing novel production hosts to produce these products, we have a vast experience in large-scale fermentation and optimization.

Industrial sustainability

As a Catalyst of the Biobased Economy^SM, Genencor is a key contributor to the development of a sustainable industrial system. Derived from plants and other renewable resources, these new products promote both environmental and sustainable industrial practices in addition to being cost competitive with, or even less expensive than those synthesized through traditional chemistry. Our success in this area is tangible evidence of our commitment to developing these trends further.  

Whether our products are helping wash clothes, clean dishes, sweeten your soft drink, or power your car, you can rest assured that they were produced using sustainable, eco-friendly processes and renewable natural resources.
