Iogen's Bio-Products business focuses on improving the operation of industries that process natural fibre. The company makes and sells high quality enzymes that are used by industries including pulp and paper, textile, and animal feed. The expertise and operating experience gained in the enzyme business is an important element of Iogen's leadership in cellulose ethanol technology.


Iogen employs a staff of approximately 170 people, with over half involved in research and development, and engineering; one fifth in manufacturing; and the balance in sales, marketing, and administration.
