About the company Holiferm was founded on the back of patented fermentation with integrated gravity separation technology developed at the University of Manchester. As a company we aim to disrupt the market and replace all petrochemical produced surfactants with our naturally produced biosurfactants, thereby significantly lowering the amount of CO 2 produced in chemical manufacturing. We use yeast derived from honey together with rapeseed oil and glucose to produce our biosurfactants using a continuous method, which makes them not only more economically viable, but more environmentally friendly too.
Our biosurfactants have proven benefits and applications in many products found around the home including cleaning products, cosmetics and skin care, as well as in the agriculture and textile industries. Holiferm is a split site company with a research and development facility in Manchester and a commercial plant in Wallasey. The research and development facility has a bespoke lab where our team design and trial innovative new methods for the production of chemicals in sustainable and environmentally friendly ways. The commercial plant is the first of its kind in the world and allows us to produce our biosurfactants at scale and an effective cost point.
