GECCO-Biotech

GECCO Biotech is a biotechnology research company that specializes in enzyme-driven technologies, providing comprehensive support for industrial applications in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, flavors, fragrances, and food technology. The company acts as a one-stop shop for biocatalysis, offering services that bridge the gap between fundamental enzyme research and practical industrial implementation. Their technical capabilities include enzyme scouting, custom cloning and expression, high-throughput enzyme engineering to improve performance metrics like stability and selectivity, and process optimization to refine reaction parameters such as pH, temperature, and substrate concentration. GECCO also provides ready-to-use enzyme kits, containing purified enzymes in well-plate formats to streamline substrate screening and reaction analysis.

By helping organizations integrate enzymatic solutions into their production pipelines, GECCO enables the transition toward more sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. Their team of experts, largely holding PhDs, collaborates with international research centers and industrial partners on high-impact R&D projects to solve complex biocatalytic challenges. The company's work, which includes the development of proprietary enzyme technologies and advanced analytical testing, supports clients in achieving specific milestone targets for product development, often resulting in enhanced cost and environmental efficiency. GECCO operates from its headquarters in Groningen, Netherlands, and is deeply involved in various EU-funded initiatives focused on next-generation enzymes and bio-based industrial production.
