Biorigin specialises in biotechnological processes and through them produces ingredients of natural origin for human food, petfood and farm animals. With industrial operations in Brazil and the United States and global operations, the company serves customers on all continents.
At Biorigin, innovation and biotechnology guarantee the delivery of differentiated solutions to the market, in addition to a solid and experienced base in fermentation processes, present in the company for over 75 years. Total control of the production chain is Biorigin’s distinguishing feature. With the raw material supplied by Zilor itself, the company guarantees traceability of the entire process, from yeast production to the final product, providing greater security for the customer.
Another difference is the Cultura Pura factory, the first in Brazil, which allows the selection of the best yeast strains for each product and the maintenance of continuous production, in addition to total control of the production process. The pet food market presents high growth rates worldwide, and together with the trends that guide it, such as humanisation, premiumisation and segmentation (phases and specific nutritional and health needs such as intestinal, immunity, health skin care, weight control, etc.), the development and launch of innovative products becomes essential for companies to gain prominence. Biorigin understands this need and, for 20 years, has been offering ingredients of natural origin to meet these market demands and increase the added value of its customers’ products.
Biorigin also has its own Research and Development Center, with three laboratories and a pilot plant, a highly trained and qualified team and cutting-edge equipment for the development of new products. The company maintains partnerships with universities and the most renowned biotechnology research institutes in Brazil and abroad, to prove the results, functionalities and applications of its products.
Biorigin has three yeast and derivatives production plants in Brazil, as well as distribution centers and offices in Brazil, the United States and Belgium. In Brazil, in the State of São Paulo, the Research and Development Center is located, with three laboratories and a pilot plant, and the Application Center, which aims to test products applied to the most diverse food categories. Biorigin has its own sales team and is present throughout the world through its network of distributors. Certifications and constant monitoring from raw materials to the final product are part of Biorigin’s daily routine, making the company a global reference in terms of the quality of its products. Quality and food safety management programs meet rigorous requirements and have dedicated teams to monitor each step of the process.
