DMC is commercial with its first product, a bio-based chemical intermediate with primary applications in sustainable detergents and human nutrition. DMC has a deep pipeline of predictable, scalable, and cost-competitive products that provide sustainable and economically attractive solutions for many industries, including animal nutrition, human nutrition, personal and home care, and biobased chemical intermediates.
 
DMC’s technology platform addresses the key barriers that have plagued the biotech industry for decades including standardization, robustness, and predictability across scale. Addressing these challenges translates to a dramatic reduction in the time to market and the investment needed to bring products to commercialization.
