Enzymsystems

Enzymsystems is a biotechnology company that develops enzymes and related technologies for industrial biocatalysis. The company focuses on discovering, engineering, and producing biocatalysts that enable sustainable chemical synthesis, biomass processing, and consumer-product manufacturing. Its customers span sectors such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, food and beverage, detergents, and specialty chemicals.

Enzymsystems operates across three main areas: enzyme discovery, protein engineering, and production and formulation. Discovery efforts combine metagenomics, genome mining, and high-throughput screening to identify enzyme candidates with desirable activity and stability. Engineering programs apply directed evolution, rational design, and computational tools to optimize performance, selectivity, and robustness. Scalable production includes fermentation, purification, and immobilization techniques to support pilot plants and commercial use.

The company markets a range of engineered enzymes, enzyme cocktails, and ancillary technologies. Product lines cover biomass-degrading enzymes for biofuels, stereoselective syntheses for pharmaceutical intermediates, and specialty biocatalysts for fine chemicals. It also offers contract research, process development, and tech-transfer services to help clients integrate biocatalysis into existing workflows.

Founded in 2012 by researchers from academia and industry, Enzymsystems is privately held with research facilities and a manufacturing campus in a major biotech hub. It maintains partnerships with universities and industrial partners and holds a portfolio of patents related to enzyme discovery, design, and production. The company positions itself as a provider of sustainable biocatalysis solutions worldwide.
