Friday, October 10th, we celebrated the opening of our new 500 m2 laboratory in Offenburg, a major step forward for Picea Biosolutions. Located in the Flow 1986 building, the innovation campus on the CANVAS22 site in Offenburg, the new facility places us at the center of a growing ecosystem focused on sustainable technologies and cross-sector innovation. From idea to realization in less than two years, this project was only possible thanks to the strong support of many, including City of Offenburg and Black Forest Innovation GmbH.
Fitting a state-of-the-art biotechnology facility into a solid wood building with a low ceiling was a unique challenge, but thanks to the exceptional effort of the construction teams and architects we made it possible, combining sustainable infrastructure with high technical complexity. As a company dedicated to biosolutions for a sustainable future, opening the first laboratory of its kind in an all-wood building reflects our commitment to uniting advanced biotechnology with environmental responsibility. We like to thank all construction parties and planners involved.
Our new building expands our laboratory space by a factor of four and includes dedicated areas for automation, computational biology, upstream and downstream bioprocess development as well as clean labs. With this expansion we are strengthening our capabilities in enzyme engineering, strain development and precision fermentation turning innovative concepts into scalable technologies.
We would like to thank all those who made the new building and laboratories possible, as well as our incredible team who moved the entire lab and restarted operations at the new site within just three days. We are excited to begin the next chapter of our work here and look forward to sharing new developments from our research and bioprocess programs soon.
