The B\u00fcttelborn labs, where components such as enzymes, yeasts, and process adjuvants for the production of fruit and vegetable juices, wine, beer, and bioethanol are developed and manufactured, are specifically geared towards application-oriented work. The labs benefit from the local proximity to BRAIN AG and other key partners because, because for the most part the group\u2019s research and development activities still take place at BRAIN AG\u2019s Zwingenberg head office. The new production facility was designed in accordance with the latest ISO and food safety standards such as ISO 22000 and the FSSC system. Its size of 4,500\u2009sq. m. means a significant expansion of WBT\u2019s storage, production and research facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The new facility was opened on December 11th, 2019 and is intended to be brought into service in early 2020. WeissBioTech will retain its head office and administrative headquarters in Ascheberg near M\u00fcnster, Germany. However, the company will give up its plant in Chanteloup-en-Brie near Paris, France.<\/p>\n<p>Matthias Enste, who assumed the position of Managing Director at WeissBioTech on November 1st, 2019, says: \u201cThe new building constitutes our basis for further growth. It allows us to guarantee a more efficient execution of our logistics processes since we now have our own warehouse space. The local proximity to BRAIN AG will make our cooperation even more efficacious.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Biocatalysts expands and optimizes its production capacities<\/h3>\n<p>Biocatalysts Ltd., a member of the BRAIN Group since 2018, is one of Europe\u2019s leading suppliers of specialty enzymes. The company\u2019s portfolio includes the development of enzymes and their small- and large-scale production, ranging from kilograms to tons, as well as global distribution operations for various industries such as the food and fine chemicals sectors.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, the company made significant progress on the construction of a new production plant in Cardiff. The facility will contain leading edge technology delivering LEAN manufacturing methodology. This sixteen fold increase in Biocatalysts fermentation capacity will give seamless scale up capability from bench top to full commercial manufacturing. The facility will safeguard customer supply and enable delivery of the company growth strategy. Commissioning, site hand-over, celebratory opening events and ultimately routine manufacturing are scheduled for the near future.<\/p>\n<p>Rod Sears-Black, Managing Director of Biocatalysts, says: \u201cThe new facility is key to delivery of our corporate vision of being the worlds leading speciality enzyme company and confirms Biocatalyst\u2019s position as the complete supplier to the biotech industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ludger Roedder, Chief Business Officer at BRAIN, adds: \u201cWe draw on the specific competencies of our subsidiaries to bring our own innovative research results to market launch and to commercialize existing products.
