April 20, 2026 |

In Germany, specialty ingredients company Symrise has made an unspecified strategic equity investment in Colorado’s Bond Pet Foods, a biotechnology firm that uses precision fermentation to produce animal-identical proteins complementing the existing pet food portfolio of Symrise.

The partnership supports Symrise’s ambition to develop biotech-enabled ingredients that work better for pets and the planet, strengthening the long-term competitiveness and sustainability leadership of Symrise Pet Food.

With this partnership, Symrise will leverage Bond Pet Foods’ technology to help address key industry challenges, including supply-chain continuity and growing consumer demand for sustainable products that diversify the source of pet food ingredients. For pet food manufacturers, the collaboration aims to broaden access to high-quality proteins while supporting resilience and responsible sourcing.

“We have put great effort into building a new way to produce animal-identical proteins for pet food applications. Now, we find it exciting to see that work gaining traction across the industry”, Rich Kelleman, CEO of Bond Pet Foods, said in a press statement. “Partnering with Symrise marks an important step forward bringing their deep expertise in pet nutrition and taste to further expand how our ingredients perform and can be used by pet food manufacturers,”
