e-nema Gesellschaft für Biotechnologie und biologischen Pflanzenschutz mbH: Biological plant protection and industrial production of microorganisms

This medium-size, globally operating com­­pany’s core competency is the production of biological plant protection agents based on nematodes and microorganisms, of feedstuff for aquaculture and of fine chemicals for the cosmetics industry. State-of-the-art technical equipment including bioreactors with great capacity and various downstream processing methods are available for own and commissioned pro­d­­uction of biomass and active ingredients.

The e-nema GmbH employs over 40 people, including eight doctorate scientists whose knowledge is available for own and commissioned research. The international team is working on new ideas and bio-technical solutions in projects such as the EU programmes “BIOCOMES” (New Bio­­logical Control Products) and “NEMAQUA” (use of nematodes as live feed for marine aquacultures). The company’s own plant protection products based on insect-pathogenic nematodes are used around the world for biological plant protection in agriculture, in mushroom and fruit growing and in horticulture; in Germany especially in the grass market and in fruit and vegetable cultivation.

Worldwide cooperation with other companies and research facilities has helped e-nema GmbH to firmly establish its po­s­ition in modern biotechnology.
