The Umeå company SpinChem has joined the Enzyme Technology Alliance, a group of six European companies collaborating to bring competitive solutions to the biotech industry. CEO Emil Byström states the alliance can offer solutions unimaginable before, aiming to replace harmful processes with environmentally friendly alternatives and contribute to a more sustainable industry.
The Umeå based company SpinChem AB is set to play a crucial role in the "Beat-PFAS project", funded by Formas, a Swedish government research council dedicated to sustainable development, with a grant of SEK 19.9 million. The project, led by Professor Jurate Kumpiene, aims to develop an effective solution for removing and destroying PFAS from contaminated soil and water.
The life science industry in Umeå is well represented at the local business gala Umeågalan in March. Cytiva, Sartorius Stedim Data Analytics and Spinchem are nominated in four different categories.
The former CEO of chemical industry giant Perstorp Martin Lundin has been appointed Chairman of the Board for Umeå-based Spinchem AB. “Spinchem combines fascinating cutting-edge technology with talented employees while operating in an exciting market”, says Martin Lundin.
