Markets & Segments
Biotechnology has great potential in addressing global challenges like climate change and food security for a growing population. Despite much attention and research funding for biotech projects in recent years, there remains a significant gap between laboratory research and product commercialization.
Corden BioChem is here to help bridge this gap. We enable rapid upscaling of new biotechnological processes for a range of product segments. To meet the global demand for biotech products, we offer fermentation and downstream toll manufacturing capacity for large volumes.

Biotechnology's unique advantages
- Sustainability: Harnessing renewable resources, eliminating dependence on fossil fuels, and decreasing CO2 emissions
- Vegan: No harm to animals, employing plants and waste as sustainable raw materials
- Yield & speed: Swift production occurring within hours to days
- Reliability: Operating independently of varying weather conditions and local climates
- Safety: Microorganisms constitute a fundamental component of nature and have been safely employed in fermentation processes for millennia
From cell to product
In biotechnology, living cells such as bacteria, yeast, or filamentous fungi are employed for the production of compounds. Industrial biotechnology combines biological and engineering knowledge to create products.
For thousands of years, the ability of the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce ethanol has been harnessed for the production of alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, and sake. Today, molecular engineering of microorganisms enables the biotechnological production of a wide range of products, replacing non-sustainable chemical synthesis processes and alleviating animal suffering in factory farming.
Microorganism
