COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Novonesis will expand its facility
in Patalganga and build one of the world’s most advanced enzyme production facilities.
The €600 million investment will increase Novonesis’ production capacity to meet
rising worldwide demand for the company’s biosolutions and strengthen the flexibility
and resilience of its global supply network.

The Patalganga expansion is a milestone in Novonesis’ strategy and key to achieving
the company’s growth ambitions. The facility, which is expected to be fully operational
in 2030, will produce enzymes for a broad range of industries, including biofuels,
household care, and food and beverages.

Ester Baiget, President & CEO:

"This is an important step in executing our strategy and reflects our continued 
commitment to investing for sustainable growth. The expansion strengthens our ability
to support customers around the world and enables us to continue creating long-term
value for our shareholders."

This state-of-the-art facility will be integrated into the company’s global production
footprint and bring Novonesis closer to customers across the Middle East, India,
and Africa. These markets represent an important and growing part of the company’s
business and are expected to grow faster than developed markets in the coming years.

Anders Lund, Chief Operating Officer:

"As demand for biosolutions continues to grow across industries and regions, expanding
our global production capacity is a priority. The Patalganga expansion will strengthen
our scale, operational resilience, efficiency, and supply flexibility. Just as importantly,
it brings us closer to customers in key growth markets, enabling us to meet their
expectations and deliver on our long-term growth targets."

**Strengthening global production capabilities**

Patalganga is part of a series of investments Novonesis has made to strengthen its
global production setup and serve customers more effectively. Facilities in Rayong,
Thailand; Franklinton, North Carolina; Taicang, China; Araucaria, Brazil; and West
Allis, Wisconsin, have also been expanded as part of this effort. The investments
align with the company’s strategy and previously communicated capital expenditure
plans.

**Setting a new standard for sustainable biosolutions production**

The Patalganga facility will be built to use less water and energy. Freshwater recycling
will reduce the amount of water the site draws, while integrated heat pumps will
lower the energy required to operate it. Together, these measures will put the facility
on a path toward lower Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
"Every facility we build should 
produce more with less. Patalganga brings together what we have learned across our
production footprint and takes us another step toward zero-emission production,"
says Anders Lund.
