About GFBiochemicals

A biochemical company that produces levulinic acid, a bio-based building block for specialty chemicals and materials, from biomass at a commercial scale.

GFBiochemicals' proprietary technology allows it to replace petroleum-based products, contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy. The company operates a production plant in Caserta, Italy, and has a presence in the Netherlands and the US through its acquisition of Segetis.

The company's mission is to end chemical pollution by providing businesses with bio-based alternatives for everyday products. GFBiochemicals recently raised €15 million in a Series A funding round to advance this mission.
