Enzymaster heads for North America

Enzymatic biocatalyst specialist Enzymaster is to create a formal presence in the US, aided by business management consultancy Haig Barrett, which specialises in the life sciences and speciality chemicals. This will soon include facilities in the US, the company said.

Enzymaster is now launching business relationship models to address the specific needs of the North American market. These include fee-for-service models with client-centric IP constructs, development programmes including commercial manufacturing of engineered enzymes and collaborative engineering partnerships.

The company described this as the next step in the strategic effort to extend the capabilities of its corporate headquarters and manufacturing centre in Ningbo, China (pictured), and its international business management office and centre for bioinformatic intelligence in Düsseldorf.
