Brain AG, a leading European industrial biotech company, based in Zwingenberg, Germany, and DSM, the global life sciences and materials sciences company headquartered in the Netherlands, join forces in the fields of enzyme systems and strain development for the fermentative production of specialty chemicals.

It is because of DSM's extensive experience in producing and marketing innovative specialty chemicals and Brain's profound expertise in the fields of technology and microbial resources, this collaboration is built on very firm foundations and looks set to be a success.

For Brain, the collaboration is an important milestone in the company's strategy of further expanding its collaborations with globally successful partners from the chemical industry, thereby strengthening the industrial network at its disposal and ensuring increased support for future projects.
