Chambers Wales South East, South West and Mid member Genesis Biosciences is a global leader in microbial and biological solutions, specialising in fermentation, biotechnology, and the development of sustainable cleaning and treatment products. With a strong manufacturing base in both the US and Europe and a dedicated R&D centre in the UK, Genesis shares how it has built a robust trade and export platform that supports customers worldwide.

Why roots matter for global success

With operations spanning the US, UK and Europe, Genesis Biosciences is setting new standards in sustainable biotech solutions for industries worldwide, from marine and wastewater treatment to agriculture, fast-moving consumer goods and feminine hygiene. At its heart is a geographically diverse and resilient manufacturing footprint that ensures agility, customer proximity and continuity of supply.

Key to its success is the company’s dedicated R&D centre in Cardiff which serves as the global engine of innovation, driving microbial strain development, product efficacy testing, and technical excellence. The Cardiff team leads collaborative research with academic institutions and industry partners, ensuring that Genesis remains at the forefront of biotechnology that is both scientifically rigorous and environmentally responsible.

How do strategic partnerships support global distribution?

Strategic partnerships underscore Genesis’ reputation as a trusted international biotechnology provider, delivering science-led, sustainable solutions to help industries reduce their environmental footprint and improve performance.

A major, longstanding relationship between Genesis Biosciences and IMCD, a leading speciality chemicals distributor, helps reinforce the company’s credibility and market reach across the EMEA region. This collaboration, alongside regional partnerships throughout the Americas and Asia-Pacific, form the company’s global distribution network, ensuring on-the-ground technical expertise and localised support to respond rapidly to customer needs.

What does the company’s export network look like?

From innovation to distribution, Genesis has built a resilient network and diversified supply chain over time, now delivering solutions to customers in over 20 countries around the world. The company supports industrial, institutional and consumer markets in the UK, Italy, Germany, Belgium, France, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Its prominence in the European market saw General Manager Dr Emma Saunders invited to attend the UK-EU summit reception at Downing Street in May this year, celebrating the opportunities that come from working together across borders.

The company’s export strength extends beyond Europe, reaching customers in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India, Indonesia, China and Malaysia. This international reach, built on strong partnerships and dedicated support, ensures that its sustainable microbial technologies, developed in its UK and US facilities, are making a tangible impact across every continent.

With Cardiff driving innovation and its manufacturing hubs ensuring continuity of supply, Genesis Biosciences is uniquely positioned to deliver sustainable biotech solutions at scale. The Chamber runs regular international trade training courses for both newcomers to importing and exporting and experienced staff needing a refresher on current requirements and compliance.
