The Company

Lactosan is one of the leading manufacturers for products on the basis of living lactic acid bacteria. The core business is the production and formulation of probiotics in animal food and the production of starter cultures for silages as animal feed and for biogas production. The company's strength lies in the realisation of ideas, the development of new products or processes and the production in industrial scales. The comprehensive process knowledge and experience in the biotechnological production, which bases on the long-term research and development activities, is used for contract manufacturing of various microorganisms to the finished product. With the extension of the production capacities, which was finished in 2007, Lactosan Biotech now also offers process development and the production of enzymes. Lactosan Pharma offers its customers since 2011 the production of lactic acid bacteria at GMP/cGMP standards in the new completely individual pharmaceutical plant.
