In Marshall, Minnesota, Solugen has broken ground on a new biomanufacturing facility adjacent to an Archer Daniels Midland corn processing complex. The 500,000-square-foot Bioforge™ Marshall plant will utilize ADM-sourced dextrose to manufacture low-carbon organic acids for applications in water treatment, agriculture, energy, and home and personal care.
“[The] groundbreaking represents a key milestone in our growth journey, underscoring our commitment to innovation and the future of biomanufacturing in the U.S.,” said Gaurab Chakrabarti, CEO and Co-Founder of Solugen. “As the demand for sustainable products continues to rise, we look forward to partnering with our customers in their decarbonization efforts.”
Bioforge™ Marshall will house three modular production lines with a total production capacity of up to 120,000 tonnes per year. Solugen was awarded $760,000 in financial incentives from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development’s Job Creation Fund for the project, which is expected to come online in the fall of 2025.
