Companies in Migdal HaEmek

Enzymotec was built on a specific technical bet: that enzymatic processing could produce lipids that were better — and more precisely defined — than conventional chemistry allowed. Founded in 1999 at the Naiot Venture Accelerator in Migdal HaEmek, the company turned that bet into ingredients for some of the most demanding nutritional markets. Its products are structured lipids, nutritional oils, phospholipids and enzymatic bio-actives, made from natural sources such as fish and plant oils. The company pioneered industrial enzymatic processing, using enzymatic transesterification, lipid fractionation and biocatalysis to create high-value lipids. Infant nutrition — premium lipids for formula — is a core market, alongside clinical nutrition, medical food and supplements. Its InFat and Sharp PS lines are recognized ingredients in global infant and clinical nutrition. Since 2017 the business has been part of the Frutarom/IFF group, which brought global supply and compliance support to an operation that had grown up as a specialist. Its customers are infant formula makers, clinical nutrition and supplement brands, and food manufacturers. Because these ingredients sit inside regulated nutrition products, an enquiry should state the lipid type, the purity required, the application and the regulatory framework the buyer is working within.
