Geno

Geno is honored to have been referenced in Shannan Billings' presentation at the World Petrochemical Conference in Houston!  Our team has been working to develop innovative technologies for the production of biobased nylon intermediates, and it’s incredibly gratifying to see our efforts recognized on such a prestigious stage. We are proud to continue this journey alongside our amazing partners to bring renewable materials to market. We firmly believe that commercializing these materials requires a collective, collaborative effort, and we are excited to be part of this transformative movement toward a more sustainable future. There are some exciting things planned for the year ahead, and we look forward to sharing more news and progress! Together, we can make a meaningful impact and create solutions that contribute to a more sustainable tomorrow. Let's keep pushing the boundaries of innovation! #BiobasedInnovation #SustainableMaterials #RenewableFuture #CollaborativeAction #PlantbasedNylon #Geno 

At Geno, we’re harnessing the power of biotechnology to help our customers reduce reliance on fossil-based feedstocks. As we prepare for In-Cosmetics, we’re excited to share what’s next—stay tuned! #biotechnology #incosglobal

At Geno, we’re here to support our customers in their transition to more sustainable materials. And as we gear up for In-Cosmetics, we’ve got some exciting news to share—stay tuned! #biotechnology #incosglobal

Geno would like to thank and congratulate our founder Christophe Schilling for his vision and relentless pursuit of harnessing the power of biology to enable new, more sustainable, ways to manufacture high-volume materials that are widely used in everyday products. We are forever grateful for the 25+ years of Christophe’s leadership and inspiration. At the same time, Geno is excited to welcome John G. Gugel as Geno’s new CEO. Since joining Geno, John has led substantial growth in our commercial business lines and ventures. We are pleased that John and Christophe have had the opportunity to work closely together for several years, and we look forward to their continued collaboration in the years to come.      

Excited to share that our Founder and CEO, Christophe Schilling, has been named to Forbes’ inaugural list of global Sustainability Leaders! 🌍✨ This prestigious award recognizes 50 global innovators — entrepreneurs, funders, policymakers, and activists — driving real and tangible impact to address the climate crisis, and Christophe is proudly among them.     This recognition is a testament not only to Christophe’s entrepreneurial vision and  leadership but also to the entire Geno team: our employees, partners, brands, investors, and community who have joined us on this critically important journey. Together we are decarbonizing chemical production and accelerating the Materials Transition at scale 🚀     👉 Check the full list here: https://lnkd.in/gqws_24y

Geno's Sasha Calder and Hyosung Corporation's Simon Whitmarsh-Knight sit down to talk about Hyosung's (the world's largest spandex producer) $1B investment in scaling Geno powered plant-based BDO. Together, they discuss how the each company is supporting the other and larger industry in accelerating impact, building resilient supply chains and delivering urgent drop in materials to the market, at scale. Geno is proud to be heading to Omaha, Nebraska to the World Bio Markets & Bio Innovations Midwest next month - sharing how Geno's technology and materials, and support of US farmers and infrastructure is driving and rebuilding more supply chain resilience here at home in the USA.

Geno is incredibly honored to be receive the United States Department of Defense's award through the Distributed Bioindustrial Manufacturing Program (DBIMP) aimed at bolstering America's bioeconomic strengths while helping the Department achieve advanced defense capabilities. In August, Geno was awarded an initial $1.51 million grant that provides the opportunity to potentially receive a follow-on grant of up to $100 million to build a U.S based bioindustrial manufacturing facility. As a biotechnology pioneer and leader, Geno has already successfully scaled BDO technology, soon to be deployed in a $300 milion investment by Cargill and HELM AG in Eddyville, Iowa and most recently with the world's largest spandex producer, Hyosung Corporation's over $1 billion dollar investment in scaling Geno BDO technology. Additionally, Geno’s innovative personal care and functional health ingredients, Brontide® Natural Butylene Glycol™ and Avela™ (R)-1,3-Butanediol ™ respectively, are readily available at popular retailers and across markets at scale, today. This DOD grant allows Geno to begin the next chapter and establish a first-of-a-kind facility at home in the US - capable of producing a suite of critical ingredients from renewable resources. Not only do these ingredients have well-established markets and customers that are eager to build more transparent and traceable supply chains of US grown feedstocks, thereby diversifying output at commercial scale, Geno’s multi-product biomanufacturing facility will also mitigate risks associated with global market and supply chain disruptions and maintain supply of critical precursor chemicals to DOD. We'll be sharing more details in the upcoming weeks. But for now, we're busy at work. Go Geno Go!

It's all about supply chain resilience. Thanks for sharing and supporting the work Geno is doing - with Future Origins to develop resilient supply chains for palm oil alternatives, here in the US heartland.

Okay - Paris, we see you. Fashion never looked so good. 🏅 Geno is over the moon that our plant-based nylon is competing on the world stage with lululemon's Olympic and Paralympics kits. We may be a little biased, but isn't this gear striking gold in both performance and sustainability? The athlete version of the Team Canada Translucent Hooded Jacket, featuring at least 40% Geno-powered plant-based nylon, isn't just turning heads—it's breaking records for sustainable fashion and the materials transition.     🧥 Every time Team Canada gets onto the podium, they're not only winning medals but also setting a new standard for how brands can make the transition from fossil-based to plant-based materials. We'll be cheering loudly for Team Canada, Team lululemon, and of course, Team Geno! We're going for gold, together!
