Company

History

Biosphere was founded in 1999 as the biotechnology division and R&D center of SFIR Group, a leading Italian player in the sugar industry, with the aim to develop new strategies for the valorization of by-products to be used in fermentation processes for the production of molecules of industrial interest. 


In 2002 Biosphere became an independent company and it started to offer contract R&D and contract manufacturing services in the sector of industrial biotechnology.


In 2012 other important local companies became new shareholders of the Company, and now Biosphere aims to consolidate its position in the Italian and European biotechnology sector.
