Our business is guided by the principle of developing lasting value that increases its usefulness and worth with each new technology. 

Our two core assets are:

• Our own, proprietary collection of extreme environmental samples, enriched cultures and isolated microorganisms.

• Our knowledge about the characteristics of this collection, together with extreme microbiology and biochemistry.

We steadily enhance these core assets. Frequent expeditions add new environmental samples and new microorganisms are regularly isolated. Innovations in growth methods reveal extremophiles with novel characteristics. On the other hand, the technology we use is essentially defined by the specific needs to achieve our R&D goals and provides us with a growing wealth of knowledge.

Therefore, we benefit as much by the falling prices of existing technology as by the availability of new techniques.
