Tetra Pak Processing Equipment has acquired Bioreactors.net, a Latvia-based company with nearly 30 years of expertise in designing and manufacturing bioreactor systems.
Founded in 1996, Bioreactors.net specialises in biomass and precision fermentation solutions for the New Food sector, offering systems capable of producing a wide range of proteins and other fermentation-derived products.
The company supports customers from lab and pilot operations to full-scale commercial facilities, and approximately 15 employees will join Tetra Pak as part of the acquisition.
Tetra Pak said the deal expands its processing expertise and strengthens its bioreactor equipment and design capabilities within the New Food category. The move allows the company to deliver more advanced production systems for precision- and biomass-fermented foods and ingredients.
Rafael Barros, director of the New Food Business Stream at Tetra Pak, commented:
“The addition of Bioreactors.net complements our existing upstream and downstream processing portfolio with fermentation capabilities… This acquisition will enable us to accelerate the development of next-generation bioreactors, empowering both emerging innovators and established producers to scale sustainably.”
Janis Misins-Jubels, head of manufacturing at Bioreactors.net, added:
“Joining Tetra Pak is a major milestone… Our decades of expertise paired with Tetra Pak’s global reach and resources will accelerate the delivery of world-class fermentation solutions worldwide.”
