“[Codexis’] process, which won a 2010 Presidential Green Chemistry Award, increased sitagliptin yield, cut back on production steps, and reduced water use and waste. The advance led to a threefold increase in productivity and helped us avoid the cost of building a second factory to meet rising demand for Januvia.”

“The partnership with Codexis strengthens our footprint in the enzyme field, a fast-developing part of the nutritional therapy innovation frontier that is changing the way we manage our health.”

“We chose the Codexis platform after a thorough evaluation of the enzyme evolution landscape. Codexis has a significant track record of delivering evolved biocatalysts for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications over an extended period of time.”

“We view Codexis as an extension of our internal research and development programs at Tate & Lyle and are excited about the opportunities which this partnership brings to deliver new and innovative food ingredients to the market.”
