Related revenues total an estimated EUR 20 million over the duration of the contract.
Specializing in multi-product fermentation
This agreement further strengthens ADL’s position as a strong European player in fermentation, with renowned expertise in scale-up and industrial-scale supply of fermented products. Long-term partnerships reflect the reliability and trust in ADL as an international partner of choice for the development and delivery of novel products by innovative processes such as multi-product fermentation.
“This 7-year contract with our new Swiss client nicely demonstrates the reliability and reputation of ADL in the fermentation industry as well as our flexibility and specialization in novel techniques. Innovation and growth are the main value drivers for ADL, and we are confident that our business plan, reinforced in August with the Kartesia financing, will guide ADL to profitability and sustainable success,” said Pilar de la Huerta, CEO of ADL Bionatur Solutions.
Both companies agreed to immediately initiate the technology transfer for the first product and expect the transfer to be completed in the beginning of 2020. Scale-up and industrial-scale production activities will start afterwards.
The agreement supports the strong growth of ADL’s CMO (contract manufacturing organization) business division, which accounted for 71% of total revenues for the first half of 2019. For the next two years, over 85% of available fermentation capacity has already been committed, a clear indicator of the Company’s continued strong growth potential and business strategy. The CMO services are carried out at ADL’s site in León, Spain, the largest fermentation facility in southern Europe available to third parties, with a current capacity of 2,400 m3.
