COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Novonesis will expand its facility in Patalganga and build one of the world's most advanced enzyme production facilities. The €600 million investment will increase Novonesis' production capacity to meet rising worldwide demand for the company's biosolutions and strengthen the flexibility and resilience of its global supply network.
The Patalganga expansion is a milestone in Novonesis' strategy and key to achieving the company's growth ambitions. The facility, which is expected to be fully operational in 2030, will produce enzymes for a broad range of industries, including biofuels, household care, and food and beverages.
Ester Baiget, President & CEO:
"This is an important step in executing our strategy and reflects our continued commitment to investing for sustainable growth. The expansion strengthens our ability to support customers around the world and enables us to continue creating long-term value for our shareholders."
This state-of-the-art facility will be integrated into the company's global production footprint and bring Novonesis closer to customers across the Middle East, India, and Africa. These markets represent an important and growing part of the company's business and are expected to grow faster than developed markets in the coming years.
Anders Lund, Chief Operating Officer:
"As demand for biosolutions continues to grow across industries and regions, expanding our global production capacity is a priority. The Patalganga expansion will strengthen our scale, operational resilience, efficiency, and supply flexibility. Just as importantly, it brings us closer to customers in key growth markets, enabling us to meet their expectations and deliver on our long-term growth targets."
Strengthening global production capabilities
Patalganga is part of a series of investments Novonesis has made to strengthen its global production setup and serve customers more effectively. Facilities in Rayong, Thailand; Franklinton, North Carolina; Taicang, China; Araucaria, Brazil; and West Allis, Wisconsin, have also been expanded as part of this effort. The investments align with the company's strategy and previously communicated capital expenditure plans.
Setting a new standard for sustainable biosolutions production
The Patalganga facility will be built to use less water and energy. Freshwater recycling will reduce the amount of water the site draws, while integrated heat pumps will lower the energy required to operate it. Together, these measures will put the facility on a path toward lower Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
"Every facility we build should produce more with less. Patalganga brings together what we have learned across our production footprint and takes us another step toward zero-emission production," says Anders Lund.

Novonesis to build next generation enzyme production facility in India
SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 21, TÜV Rheinland Greater China, the international independent testing, inspection and certification organization presented Shenzhen Aputure Imaging Technology Co., Ltd. ("Aputure") with a life cycle assessment (LCA) certificate for its STORM CS32 studio light at the 2026 Aputure Fan Night.
The certification reflects Aputure's commitment to environmental responsibility and provides a scientific basis for identifying the stages of a product's life cycle with the greatest environmental impact, enabling targeted improvements that will guide future product optimization and sustainability management.
Gao Chao, Deputy Director of Aputure's product center, and Li Qiang, Vice General Manager of Sales at TÜV Rheinland Greater China Electrical, attended the certificate presentation ceremony.
The project moved beyond the conventional approach of evaluating a single production stage. Instead, it applied a "cradle-to-grave" perspective, systematically assessing the studio light across its entire life cycle from raw material extraction, manufacturing, distribution and transportation, through product use, to end-of-life disposal. The assessment pinpointed the key factors and stages where environmental impact is greatest, providing data to support eco-design, process improvement and supply chain optimization.
"Sustainability has become a core imperative for business development," Gao said. "Receiving this LCA certificate marks an important milestone in our efforts to integrate green principles across the entire research, development and manufacturing of our products. While refining technical performance, we continue to identify opportunities to reduce environmental impact throughout the product life cycle. Going forward, Aputure will advance eco-design, drive continuous innovation and support the industry's transition toward a green, low-carbon future."
"The global transition toward green, low-carbon development is accelerating, and sustainability has shifted from an option to a must for enterprises," Li said. "LCA helps companies understand the composition of their products' environmental footprint and identify where improvements can be made, moving from isolated green initiatives to systematic capability building. This certification not only recognizes Aputure's achievements to date. It also marks a new starting point for building full life cycle environmental management capabilities. TÜV Rheinland is honored to have been part of this project, and we look forward to deepening our cooperation to help the professional film and television lighting industry move toward higher-quality, more sustainable growth."
As a leading global technology service provider, TÜV Rheinland operates specialized laboratories and a global technical network covering safety, electromagnetic compatibility, performance verification and market access for electrical and electronic products. It offers one-stop solutions for photographic equipment, film and television lighting and related products, including testing, certification and assessment spanning product development, testing and certification, and post-market evaluation, helping Chinese lighting products reach global markets.
