Welcome to Chromologics!
Chromologics was founded in 2017 and uses precision fermentation to produce novel colorants. Our technology platform will enable us to be early movers in introducing exclusively lab grown natural food colorants to the market that are high-performing, cost-competitive, and sustainable alternatives. Unlike other existing natural colors, our colorants are not extracted from high-value labor intensive raw materials like fruit & vegetables or insects but are produced via fermentation. Chromologics R&D is transforming our work from lab to product commercialization.
Chromologics offers you the ability to gain experience and take on broader responsibilities. We are an international and diverse team located at the Innovation House at Alfa Laval in Søborg. We thrive on innovation, sustainability, and applied technologies. Our facilities are within cycling and public transportation distance of Copenhagen with access to the Alfa Laval canteen and fitness facilities.
Thanks to our latest capital increase, Chromologics is fully funded until dossier submission.
