Gelatex Technologies

Gelatex Technologies is a materials technology company based in Estonia that specializes in the production of high-performance nanofibers. The company has developed and patented a novel, high-capacity solution-spinning technology called HaloSpin, which is designed to be faster and more cost-effective than traditional electrospinning methods. This proprietary manufacturing process allows for the continuous production of customizable, high-porosity nanofibrous materials in roll form, which are compatible with a wide range of synthetic and bio-based polymers. The company’s expertise encompasses contract research, development, and manufacturing services, enabling the creation of bespoke solutions for industries including food technology, medical applications, and advanced materials.

The company is widely recognized for its contributions to cellular agriculture, specifically by providing food-grade, animal-free scaffolds and microcarriers that support scalable cultured meat production. By mimicking the natural extracellular matrix, Gelatex’s products assist in cell differentiation and tissue formation, addressing a major barrier in the commercial scaling of lab-grown meat. Beyond the food sector, Gelatex serves the biomedical field through its Gelacell product line, which provides pharma-grade scaffolds for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering, including applications in wound care and drug delivery. Through its R&D services, the company works with various global partners to innovate applications ranging from filtration and energy storage to advanced textiles, leveraging its technology to reduce production costs and improve material efficiency.
