Speciality enzyme manufacturer Biocatalysts has invested £6 million to expand its newly-opened enzyme production facility in Cardiff, UK.
Biocatalysts manufactures a range of speciality enzymes for a variety of industries, including the food, flavour & fragrance sectors.
The expansion will add a further 11,000 square-feet of manufacturing space to the factory, and the company says that the new production area also offers future expansion capacity, meaning the company will operate from the site for the foreseeable future.
Biocatalysts says that the next stage of the expansion will be to upgrade the machinery at the facility, and the company will add a new fermenter and a down-stream processing machiner to enhance its production operations at the site.
According to Biocatalysts, the new equipment will be controlled by “state-of-the-art software to maximise our capacity and enhance our efficiencies.”
Daren Bryce, commercial director at Biocatalysts said: “This represents a very exciting time in the speciality enzyme field.
“The unique breadth of offering, from discovery right through to large-scale production, that Biocatalysts has to offer will allow previously in-accessible novel enzymes at commercial scale to our customers.”
