History
Novozymes was founded in 2000 in a demerger from pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk. Novozymes’ roots date back to the 1920s when Novo Terapeutisk Laboratorium and Nordisk Insulinlaboratorium were established in Copenhagen, Denmark. Enzyme production began in 1941.
Company profile
Novozymes is the world leader in bioinnovation. Our business is industrial enzymes and microorganisms.
Enzymes are proteins, and in nature they initiate biochemical reactions in all living organisms. It is enzymes that convert the food in our stomachs to energy and turn the falling leaves in the forest to compost.
Novozymes finds enzymes in nature and optimize them for use in industry. In industry, enzymes replace chemicals and accelerate production processes. They help our customers make more from less, while saving energy and generating less waste.
Enzymes are widely used in laundry and dishwashing detergents where they remove stains and enable low-temperature washing and concentrated detergents.
Other enzymes improve the quality of bread, beer and wine, or increase the nutritional value of animal feed. Enzymes are also used in the production of biofuels where they turn starch or cellulose from biomass into sugars which can be fermented to ethanol.
These are just a few examples as we sell enzymes to more than 40 different industries.
Like enzymes, microorganisms have natural properties that can be put to use in a variety of processes. Novozymes supplies a range of microorganisms for use in agriculture, animal health and nutrition, industrial cleaning and wastewater treatment.
