Pharmaceutical manufacturer Fermenta Biotech has stepped into its 75th year, beginning a chapter in its journey of trust, excellence, and purpose.
Established in 1951 by founder Dr Datla Venkata Krishnam Raju, Fermenta has grown from its roots in pharmaceutical manufacturing in India to become a global leader in Vitamin D3 production and pioneers in green chemistry.
With advanced facilities in Kullu, Dahej, Tirupati, and international subsidiaries, Fermenta had expanded its presence in nutritional wellness and advancing sustainability through its Environmental Solutions division.
Prashant Nagre, managing director of Fermenta, said, “Nearly seventy-five years ago, Dr DVK Raju envisioned an Indian enterprise delivering world-class solutions with responsibility and purpose. The Datla family’s pioneering spirit and ethical practices have guided us ever since. Today, we inherit Dr Raju’s philosophy: true progress combines the dignity of work with intellectual ambition. As leaders, we ask ourselves: Are we fostering innovation and empowering our teams to advance nutritional wellness in India and beyond? We remain committed to this legacy, leading with innovation and focusing on sustainable, impactful solutions. On this occasion, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our employees, shareholders, partners, and customers, whose unwavering support has made this vision a reality.”
Fermenta Biotech has a growing portfolio of nutrition, including customized premixes, fortified rice kernels (FRK) and other nutritional ingredients. Apart from its nutrition portfolio, Fermenta is the only manufacturer of Vitamin D3 in India and a leading global player.
It supplies to more than 350 customers across 60 countries with a worldwide distribution network for a variety of applications such as pharmaceuticals, dietary and nutritional supplements, food, animal nutrition and rodenticides.
Fermenta’s manufacturing facilities in Kullu, Dahej and Tirupati are certified by global accreditations, and its R&D center is located at Thane. Fermenta also possesses expertise in green chemistry such as enzymes for antibiotic synthesis, other niche APIs and environmental solutions.
