The construction of the plant has officially commenced, marking a significant milestone.

The groundbreaking ceremony marked the commencement of the construction of a biotechnology plant (CDMO), initiated with the installation of a large cylinder. The initial phase focuses on enzyme production, followed by the manufacturing of advanced Synbio products.

The projected fermentation capacity is set to reach up to 1 million liters, featuring state-of-the-art up-stream and down-stream equipment. The construction unfolds in three distinct phases, with a cumulative fermentation capacity of 1 million liters. Phase 1 will kick off with an installed capacity of approximately 200,000 liters.

The joint venture between BBGI and Fermbox Bio is set to establish a Biohub in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). This initiative is geared towards elevating the overall economic quality of the country, with a specific emphasis on the New S-Curve industry targeting agriculture and biotechnology. The planned CDMO plant is anticipated to garner comprehensive support from the government.

The joint venture company is committed to shaping a more sustainable future through innovation, collaboration, and responsible business practices. This partnership represents a significant stride in line with the company's overarching goal of advancing biotechnology products.
