How Biotechnology Pervades Our Lives
Stronger Together
Curcumin is a highly effective antioxidant that is not readily absorbed by the human body. Dr. Wolz, a German nutritional supplements manufacturer, also recognized this, which is why he counts on CAVACURMIN® from WACKER, a curcumin extract encapsulated with cyclodextrin that has a increased bioavailability.
Vaccines
Wacker Biotech has been making vaccines on behalf of pharmaceutical companies and research institutes for some 20 years now.
Guilt-Free Indulgence
Lavish, delicious and yet low in calories: a WACKER product derived from natural corn starch offers a low-fat alternative to synthetic emulsifiers and animal-based products – and is taking the Mexican baked goods and confectionery market by storm.
LMPs: Beneficial Bacteria
They float in a murky soup of nutrients in huge steel tanks: life forms too small to be seen by the naked eye. These are bacterial strains which grow and reproduce. Wacker Biotech uses them to manufacture pharmaceutical products: so-called live microbial products (LMPs) – a promising class of active ingredients.
Biotechnology Solutions – Our Business at a Glance
Our division’s product range includes pharmaceutical proteins, live bacteria, cyclodextrins (sugar molecules that act as adjuvants such as odor- or flavor-masking agents) and cysteine, polyvinyl acetate solid resins for gumbase, organic intermediates and acetylacetone.
We combine expertise in traditional fine chemicals with our biotech know-how and utilize synergies between these two fields to develop products with high added value. This combination is our great strength and puts us in a position, together with you, to develop custom solutions for special market requirements.
“Biologics offer novel opportunities for fighting severe illnesses, such as cancer. What motivates me and many of my colleagues is WACKER’s role as a supplier of innovative medication for sick people all over the world.”
