Ingredients Innovation Nu-Tek BioSciences to Highlight Animal-Free Fermentation Solutions at SIMB 2025
Nu-Tek BioSciences, a recognized industry leader in the development of 100% animal-free peptones and specialty yeast extracts, has announced its participation in the 75th Annual Meeting and Exhibition of the Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB), scheduled to take place from July 27 to 30, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco. The company will be exhibiting at Booth #18, where attendees can explore its latest innovations designed to support the evolving needs of the industrial fermentation sector.
As the demand for sustainable, safe, and ethical biomanufacturing ingredients continues to rise, Nu-Tek BioSciences is strategically positioned to meet the stringent quality and regulatory requirements of biotechnology companies around the globe. The company’s robust product portfolio, backed by meticulous manufacturing practices, is tailored to address the critical challenges faced by fermentation-based industries—including biopharmaceuticals, food and beverage production, diagnostics, and industrial enzyme development.
At the heart of Nu-Tek’s product offering are its animal-free peptones and yeast extracts, developed with a strong commitment to both sustainability and high-performance functionality. Unlike conventional ingredients derived from animal sources, Nu-Tek’s products are manufactured in a state-of-the-art, dedicated animal-free facility. This ensures consistent quality, eliminates contamination risks, and supports the ethical and environmental objectives of clients seeking to align their operations with modern consumer and regulatory expectations.
A Commitment to Quality, Compliance, and Global Reach
Nu-Tek’s manufacturing facility is purpose-built to adhere to rigorous quality standards, enabling the production of reliable and reproducible fermentation ingredients. Each product is carefully crafted using non-animal substrates to ensure it meets the strict purity and traceability standards required for sensitive bioprocesses. By eliminating the variables and potential contaminants associated with animal-derived materials, Nu-Tek offers peace of mind to industries that rely on controlled fermentation environments.
Moreover, the company’s products are both Halal and Kosher certified—two increasingly important credentials in today’s multicultural and regulation-conscious global market. These certifications not only reflect Nu-Tek’s commitment to religious and ethical inclusivity but also provide clients with the confidence that their supply chain meets a wide range of consumer and regulatory expectations. This broad market appeal allows businesses to expand into new geographical territories and serve diverse populations without the need to reformulate or revalidate their processes.
Chris Wiedel, Chief Business Officer at Nu-Tek BioSciences, expressed the company’s enthusiasm about engaging with peers and partners at the SIMB 2025 Annual Meeting:
“We are thrilled to be a part of SIMB’s landmark 75th Annual Meeting and to connect with thought leaders, researchers, and innovators from across the industrial microbiology and biotechnology landscape. Our 100% animal-free peptones and specialty yeast extracts—now available with both Halal and Kosher certifications—demonstrate our ongoing dedication to quality, reliability, and compliance. We look forward to sharing how our ingredients can help customers meet their performance goals while aligning with broader sustainability initiatives.”
A Platform for Innovation and Collaboration
The SIMB Annual Meeting is one of the most prestigious gatherings in the industrial microbiology and biotechnology fields, offering a unique platform for scientists, manufacturers, and solution providers to share advances, foster collaboration, and identify future trends. With over seven decades of history, the conference draws a global audience, including representatives from pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, industrial fermenters, and contract manufacturers.
During the event, Nu-Tek BioSciences will showcase its latest advancements in fermentation ingredient technologies and highlight the measurable benefits of transitioning to animal-free alternatives. Visitors to Booth #18 can expect in-depth discussions about how Nu-Tek’s products can contribute to streamlined production, reduced lot-to-lot variability, enhanced microbial growth, and higher yield efficiency—all while supporting the principles of ethical sourcing and responsible manufacturing.
The company’s technical team will also be available to offer insights into the specific applications of its peptones and yeast extracts across a variety of microbial platforms, including bacterial, fungal, and yeast-based fermentation systems. Whether developing recombinant proteins, enzymes, probiotics, or bio-based chemicals, Nu-Tek provides tailored ingredient solutions that can be seamlessly integrated into existing production workflows.
Driving the Future of Ethical Biomanufacturing
As biomanufacturing continues to grow in importance in sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, and environmental technology, the emphasis on sustainable inputs has never been greater. Companies are under increasing pressure to reduce their reliance on animal-derived materials—not only due to safety concerns like prion contamination and batch inconsistency but also because of growing ethical and environmental scrutiny from regulators, investors, and consumers alike.
Nu-Tek BioSciences stands at the forefront of this transition, enabling biomanufacturers to adopt cleaner, greener practices without compromising on performance. The company’s proactive investments in innovation, compliance, and customer support are helping reshape the future of fermentation ingredient sourcing.
By offering animal-free alternatives that meet the most demanding regulatory and operational criteria, Nu-Tek BioSciences is empowering its partners to meet both technical and social responsibility goals.
