About Us –
Innovation and Expertise in Enzyme Technology

Biotechnological Expertise for Agriculture and Industry

Since 1992, Biopract has focused on the development, application, and analysis of technical enzyme products. In 1996, we took over global customer service analytics for feed enzymes, and later expanded to enzymes used in human nutrition for DSM-Firmenich. Today, we analyze enzyme activity in over 15,000 individual samples annually using more than 30 distinct methods.
 

Advanced Laboratory Infrastructure

Our extensive experience and specialized lab setup allow us to deliver precise, differentiated analyses at the highest scientific level. Located in Berlin-Adlershof, we benefit from close proximity to leading research institutions, fostering collaboration and innovation. As a research-driven company, we value strong partnerships with academic institutions both locally and internationally.
 
Pioneering Biogas Research
In 2001, our scientists recognized the potential of enzymes in anaerobic fermentation—especially for enhancing biogas production. This led to the development of several product lines that improve the digestibility of challenging biomass and boost the efficiency of biogas plants.

Unique Expertise and Certified Quality

Biopract holds unique knowledge in enzyme applications for anaerobic digestion. Our laboratory and production facilities are certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, ensuring consistent quality and reliability.
 

Innovative Products and Market Leadership

With the market launch of the UltraPract product series in 2017, we founded the sales company Biopract ABT, specialising in the needs of biogas plants. In 2026, Biopract ABT was acquired by Joachim Behrens Schessel GmbH (jbs). Since then, jbs has continued to distribute the efficient Biopract products under their established brand names. Biopract remains solely responsible for development and production and works closely with jbs. In addition, Biopract supports jbs technically as well as through expert consulting and laboratory services, in order to ensure competent customer support and consistently high product quality.

 

In Summary

For over 30 years, Biopract has set industry standards in enzyme development, application, and analytics for agriculture and industry. Our innovative products and outstanding analytical capabilities contribute to quality assurance in food and feed production, and to the efficiency and profitability of biogas operations.
