BASF, the largest chemical producer in the world, is on a mission to create a more sustainable value chain in the food and animal feed industry. Its solutions help to produce more efficient and environmentally friendly foodstuffs and nutritional products.
With growing demand in the market, the company wanted to expand its solution set and address more customers directly. BASF launched Opteinics™ in 2021 to measure, analyze, and minimize the environmental impact of animal protein, with an emphasis on animal feed production. Opteinics™ is a product of Chemovator, the business incubator and early-stage investor of BASF.
