Primient Launches New Biosolutions Business Unit to Accelerate Growth in the Bioeconomy
SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Primient, a global leader in biomanufacturing and plant-based ingredients, announced today the creation of a new Biosolutions business unit to accelerate growth in differentiated, high-value bio-based solutions for customers and innovators.
In recent years, Primient has steadily expanded its role in the bioeconomy through strategic investments and partnerships that build on the company’s long-standing corn wet-milling heritage. Recent milestones include the Sustainea co-location partnership in Lafayette, IN; the iPROOF venture taking shape alongside Primient’s Decatur, IL facility; and the company’s recent acquisition of its bio-PDO business in Loudon, TN.
“For the last four years, we have been reinvesting heavily in our business. We’ve been rebuilding our foundation while strengthening our operations and our customer service across our core platforms,” said Jim Stutelberg, Chief Executive Officer of Primient. “Our value proposition to customers has never been stronger. The creation of our new Biosolutions business will enable us to accelerate our progress in high-growth biomanufacturing markets. We will continue to build on our strengths and core foundation to achieve our ambitions in the bioeconomy.”
The Biosolutions business will focus on accelerating and scaling the commercialization of bio-based solutions, partnering with global biomanufacturing leaders as they move from proof-of-concept to full-scale production. The new structure provides dedicated resources and clear accountability to unlock value in markets that are rapidly evolving and increasingly important.
A Market-Ready Structure Built for What’s Next
As part of this evolution, Primient is moving from three product-focused businesses to four market-facing business units aligned to distinct customer needs and market drivers. This structure strengthens the organization’s ability to scale, allocate resources to high-return opportunities, and deliver on its long-term strategy.
Primient’s business units will include:
Continued Commitment Across Primient’s Portfolio
Jim added, “Although the new Biosolutions business unit will be the cornerstone of our growth engine moving forward, our commitment to excellence across the entire Primient portfolio remains unchanged.”
