Build better proteins with us
Everyone needs proteins. But some people have more precise protein needs than everyday protein can meet.
Let’s fill that gap. It’s a question of better health.
You’re good at what you do. Maybe best in class. But when it comes to developing and commercializing innovative protein ingredients, everyone can use a solid shoulder to lean on. That’s us.
We collaborate with experts like you to tailor proteins in unlimited ways. So we can help people with precise protein needs. Together we can turn protein innovation into products that make a real difference in people’s lives.
You’re the expert in health and nutrition. So you know the gaps between what’s possible with existing protein ingredients and what consumers want in their products.
As your partner, we’re here to do the heavy lifting of developing new possibilities with protein ingredients. After scale-up, we’ll produce a consistently high-quality supply to keep your products moving off the shelf.
No matter your nutritional specialty, we’re an experienced ally that pioneers new proteins. So you can develop high-quality, high-value offerings that give your customers new answers for life.
Develop new proteins that bridge crucial protein gaps in specialized nutrition. With them, you can offer new solutions for patient recovery, weight loss management, healthy longevity, and more.
Imagine if you could enrich infant formula with important proteins inspired by mothers’ milk? There’s a reason mother’s milk proteins have evolved as they have. Give those benefits to bottle-fed babies, too.
We start with microorganisms and end in thriving partnerships with leading companies. From early innovation to scaled production, we’ll deliver high-value protein ingredients for your next innovation. And the one after that, too. We’ve already invested hundreds of millions on everything from development to site construction. Is your project next?
It takes meaningful partnerships to turn protein innovation into products. Together we can make a real difference in people’s lives with precision proteins -- the building blocks for better health and nutrition.
We’re passionate team players who ask the right questions. Give the right answers. And always listen.

At Novonesis, we’ve been using this biotechnology for decades. It’s how we make novel vitamins and enzymes for everything from higher crop yields to food that stays fresh longer.
We use microorganisms to produce proteins that are challenging or impossible to obtain otherwise. They’re tailored to your exact specifications. Then we’ll scale production and deliver a consistent supply of proteins that meet your precise health or nutritional requirement.
With our extensive portfolio of probiotics, prebiotics, HMOs, postbiotics, enzymes, novel vitamins, protein ingredients and emerging technologies, you can tap into established and emerging health needs to create quality products that stand out.
Explore our portfolio to support health at every stage of life.
If only the highest industry standards are good enough, you’re in the right place.
We have the world’s most documented probiotic strains, innovative HMOs and precision proteins.
Let us help you find the answers that make a real difference.
Answers to the questions we hear most often
First of all, a protein is made up of a long string of amino acids. When digested, the amino acids break free and are absorbed into the body where they can do their good work. In all, there are 20 amino acids that can be placed in infinite combinations. Nine of them can’t be made by the human body so we need to get them from our diet; they are called essential amino acids.
Some people can’t digest a certain amino acid. Others need a higher density of essential amino acids that they can’t get from everyday proteins. For all the circumstances where everyday proteins can’t meet a specific need, precision-fermented proteins can be the answer. Through our technology, we can tailor proteins in unlimited ways that give both consumers and our customers valuable new opportunities.
Fermentation has been used for centuries to produce foods like beer, yogurt and bread. Microorganisms digest sugars and produce the required alcohol, acid or gas. Precision fermentation utilizes the same process. With biotechnological approaches and innovations, we cultivate a modified microbial cell to produce the specific substance we require (in this case, a protein). These final protein ingredients derived from the fermentation process are then extracted and purified.
Precision fermentation has been used since the 1980s to create products like insulin. It is a core technology of Novonesis and has already been used successfully for decades to create enzymes and HMOs. Precision proteins builds on this vast expertise to create protein ingredients.
Precision fermentation is a biotechnological process that uses microorganisms to produce specific proteins that are challenging or impossible to obtain through traditional methods. This technology allows us to create proteins with exact specifications, ensuring consistency, scalability, and sustainability while meeting precise nutritional requirements.
