The company was founded in May 1994 and its custom-built facilities were designed specifically for the extraction of multi-ton quantities of horseradish per day and the purification of Peroxidase for the diagnostic industry.

Resulting from the introduction of innovative technology and in-process controls, Faizyme has optimised enzyme yield virtually eliminated batch-by-batch variations and offers Peroxidase with enhanced stability characteristics.

In addition to Peroxidase, Faizyme now also manufactures a range of additional enzymes for application in the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries. The company has an active development programme and additional products are being added to its range on a regular basis.

Resulting from the emphasis the company places on PRODUCT QUALITY and CUSTOMER SERVICE, Faizyme has, in a relatively short period, established its reputation and position on the international market and supplies products to many of the world’s leading manufacturers of diagnostic and pharmaceutical products.
