Hoping to capitalize on growing interest in wellness, Germany’s Wacker Chemie is teaming up with the Danish biotech firm Biosyntia to produce biotin, also called vitamin B7, at a site in Europe using a fermentation process. Biotin is usually made synthetically. China is a major biotin producer, accounting for more than 90% of the biotin imported to the US. Wacker already has a Spanish fermentation plant that makes the amino acid cysteine, another fine chemical produced in large quantities in China.
