Celebrating Our Expanded Capacity for Microbial Growth and Scale-Up

As a trusted provider of Bacillus-based solutions, we are passionate about continuous innovation to better serve our partners. After years of planning and hard work, we are thrilled to share that we celebrated the grand opening of our third production facility with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, September 3, 2025!

Our new 117,000-square-foot facility is located at 3403 W. Oakwood Road in Franklin and provides us with the necessary capacity to further our fermentation and lyophilization capabilities, all while supporting our vision to Feed, Clean, Save the World. Including our two other production locations, the new space brings us to a total of 55,000 liters of fermentation capacity.

The ribbon cutting was attended by MDG leadership as well as the partners who’ve supported us along the way, including Milwaukee 7, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, the City of Franklin, BioForward, and our parent company, United Animal Health. We are grateful to our partners for believing in our vision and providing us with the necessary resources to make this expansion project a success!
