HTL Biotechnology makes a notable entry into recombinant human collagen for cosmetic and medical uses, addressing not only identified Vegan ethical commitments needs but also unique and differentiating properties.
The rhCOL3, developed in the United States and produced in Europe, has already raised the interest of numerous players in the cosmetic and aesthetic industry. In a nascent market with high demand set to surpass the billion-dollar mark soon, this recombinant human collagen holds significant promise.
HTL Biotechnology's ambition, through this acquisition, is to drive innovation in the company's historical segments, including aesthetic medicine, rheumatology, and ophthalmology, as well as explore new therapeutic areas. The synergy between HTL Biotechnology's high-quality GMP biofermentation expertise and this new platform of recombinant proteins will enable the development of disruptive innovations, leveraging a combination of biopolymers and accelerating the company's innovative capabilities.
HTL Biotechnology will now offer a broad and distinctive range of products through its platform, including pharmaceutical-grade hyaluronic acid, polynucleotides, and products in development such as heparosan or botulinum toxin as a neuromodulator. Additionally, with this acquisition, HTL Biotechnology gains a platform for human recombinant collagens.
The company is also strengthening its presence on the North American continent with, on one hand, the teams from HTL Biotechnology Manufacturing Inc. (HTL BMI) based in the state of Massachusetts, and on the other hand, the arrival of this new organization based in Nutley (NJ).
François Fournier, CEO of HTL Biotechnology, states: "I am thrilled with the commercialization of this new Vegan biopolymer, the diversification of our activity, and the prospects that this acquisition gives us to innovate even further, together. HTL Biotechnology thus becomes a pioneer in the market for human recombinant collagen, where the company was a pioneer 30 years ago in the bioproduction of hyaluronic acid. The depth of our biopolymer portfolio is unique, and it is with great pride that we will be able to serve our clients even better. I am delighted to welcome, on behalf of HTL Biotechnology, the beauty and biomedical teams from Modern Meadow."
