Silk scale-up: Ajinomoto Foods Europe to produce AMSilk proteins
Under the agreement, AFE will establish a dedicated line for producing AMSilk’s silk proteins at its biomanufacturing site in Nesle, France. The setup is based on 160 m³ fermentation reactor capacity, combined with customized downstream processing capabilities, and is designed exclusively for AMSilk’s production.
The setup of the dedicated production line involves a multi-million joint investment in equipment, installation and facility upgrades, reflecting the scale and industrial ambition of the project. At full performance, the production system is expected to reach commercial production volumes of industrial-grade silk protein with consistent quality.
