BIOFAC A/S Information

BIOFAC A/S is a privately owned concern based in Denmark. We produce high quality products for the pharmaceutical, the veterinary, and for the nutraceutical industries. Our history The very beginning of our company was back in 1950, where a major meat packer, Vigo Østergaard had a vision of using slaughterhouse offal for the production of more valuable products. For this purpose Vigo Østergaard started a production of Lung Heparin as well as of Plasma powder for animal feeds. The production took place in the buildings belonging to - and in the vicinity of - Copenhagen Slaughter Houses to secure an easy and stable supply of raw materials. After a management buy-out BIOFAC A/S was founded 1955 as an independent company. The basic idea was to use nature's own raw materials for the production of active ingredients mainly for the pharmaceutical industry as well as sophisticated basic ingredients for nutraceuticals. During the following years, active ingredients such as Intrinsic Factor, Stabilized Rumen Extract ®, Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate, Bionuclease, Thrombin. and many others were developed Today's production takes place in five modern factories in Denmark. Quality For decades all factories of the BIOFAC Group have been implementing and working under the GMP and GLP guidelines. Our animal products are controlled by possibly the strictest veterinary authorities in the world. These high standards enable us to supply the highest quality products available.
