The Evonik Biotech Hub develops custom-tailored, competitive solutions for its internal and external customers. For this it uses its extensive understanding of complex biological systems, microbial strain development, and biotechnological production processes up to and including large-scale production facilities, with a focus on all of Evonik’s business lines.

We place our trust in industrial biotechnology for the production of biomolecules and functional microorganisms, such as

  • highly soluble, ultra-pure collagen of non-animal origin for use in pharmaceutical and medical applications as well as in cell culture and tissue engineering;
  • biosurfactants for household and cosmetic applications;
  • omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA produced from natural microalgae for animal nutrition;
  • amino acids for low-protein diet formulations as a global standard for animal nutrition;
  • probiotics and other feed additives to reduce the use of antibiotics in livestock farming;
  • microbial ferments that are used as microbiome-friendly cosmetic active ingredients; and
  • microbial surface cleaners for long-lasting cleaning effects in households and industrial facilities
