Industrial microbial production & custom formulation platform for agricultural biologics
Atens is an industrial biotechnology company specialized in the reproduction, scale-up, industrial production, and formulation of microorganisms for agricultural applications. Our platform transforms microbial strains into stable, effective, and market-ready solutions for biocontrol, biostimulants, and soil health.
Microbial technologies often face limitations when moving from lab to market due to poor scalability, inconsistent quality, or inadequate formulations. Atens addresses this challenge by focusing on microorganism-specific reproduction technologies, ensuring biological performance is preserved at industrial scale.
We design tailored reproduction and production strategies for each microorganism, including fungi (such as Trichoderma and mycorrhizae) and bacteria (such as Bacillus spp.). Our capabilities include solid-state and liquid fermentation, strain-adapted propagation processes, and advanced formulation development (wettable powders, granules, liquids, and seed-treatment compatible formats) with a strong emphasis on viability, shelf-life, and field performance.
Our industrial platform is supported by in-house microbiological and analytical expertise, including advanced microbial characterization and quality control, enabling consistent and reproducible production aligned with regulatory and commercial requirements.
Atens has successfully industrialized multiple microbial technologies and collaborates with international partners through licensing, co-development, and manufacturing agreements. We are open to a wide range of collaboration models, including custom production and formulation services, joint development, licensing of proprietary technologies, and others.
We actively seek partners with innovative microbial assets looking for an experienced industrial partner to accelerate development and market deployment.
About Atens
Atens is a biotechnology company specializing in the research, development, and manufacture of microbial-based agricultural solutions. The company utilizes advanced techniques, including genomics and metabolomics, to create a range of products that include mycorrhizae, Trichoderma, and plant growth-promoting bacteria. These solutions are produced using proprietary in vivo and bioreactor technologies, which the company manages through vertical integration of its supply chain. By focusing on the rhizosphere, Atens develops formulations designed to optimize soil management, enhance nutrient absorption, and improve crop resilience against abiotic stresses and pathogenic organisms.
These biotechnological products support sustainable agricultural practices by enabling farmers to increase profitability while minimizing environmental impact. The company provides a diverse portfolio of biostimulants, biofertilizers, and biological fungicides tailored for various crop types and application methods, such as seed treatment or irrigation. With a presence in over 25 countries, Atens serves agricultural clients worldwide. Its commitment to quality and scientific rigor is evidenced by ISO certifications and the accreditation of its NGALAB laboratory, which provides specialized soil and genomic analysis services to inform evidence-based cultivation decisions.
