About us

Our history

ABIOtech was founded in 2024 following the transformation of the company American Bioprocess SpA (ABIO) into ABIOgroup, resulting in 3 companies: ABIOtech, ABIOfeed and Profat.

In this way, ABIOtech emerged as the technological arm of the group, bringing together the 8 years of experience of ABIO in the development of new processes and products from natural raw materials. ABIOtech continues the original mission of ABIO to provide engineering support, R&D and analysis to industrial partners in this area.
