Locus Fermentation Solutions (Locus FS) specializes in high-performance intermediary formulations. Unlike traditional specialty chemical providers, we produce glycolipids and microbes that act as formulation enhancers—pushing performance beyond the limits of conventional chemistry. Solve your complex challenges with a science-driven approach, hands-on formulation expertise and smarter, more effective alternatives.
USA-based biotechnology company
Manufactured and shipped out of Solon, Ohio
High-performance specialty chemical intermediaries enhanced with novel glycolipids and microbes
Better multifunctionality and superior results in agriculture, mining, oil & gas, CPG & industrial markets
To push the boundaries of traditional chemistry by using glycolipid and microbial additives as powerful formulation amplifiers that drive superior performance and sustainability across global industries.
For bio-enhanced solutions to be the default; not the alternative.
Locus FS started with an idea to produce unique molecules with a process enabled by fermentation. Our proprietary platform enables us to precisely identify and control the strains needed to produce high-value, glycolipid- and microbial-enhanced intermediates that outperform legacy formulations. From enhanced cleaning to better emulsification and superior sustainability, our technology makes it possible.
Backed by top-tier experts, strategic investors and strong industry partnerships, we’re built to solve your toughest formulation challenges. With deep technical expertise and biomanufacturing across key regions, we give you the speed, scale, efficiency and support to formulate smarter. We’ve built the capabilities so you can build better products.
Today, Locus FS is a performance-driven biotechnology company delivering powerful bio-based solutions across four primary markets: oil & gas, mining, agriculture, and industrial/CPG. With end-to-end capabilities and a sharp focus on product performance, Locus FS is helping customers solve their toughest formulation challenges—at scale.
To better serve customers and accelerate impact, Locus FS underwent a strategic reorganization to sharpen its focus on the areas where its biotechnology and manufacturing expertise deliver the greatest impact. The shift prioritized depth over breadth—concentrating efforts on four core markets and aligning leadership, partnerships and resources to accelerate innovation and performance in those spaces.
Locus FS evolved into a multi-division organization. The company expanded its R&D work and bio-based offerings into additional industries, including mining, personal care, home care, livestock and industrial applications.
The Locus Fermentation Solutions (Locus FS) brand was introduced and the company’s first commercial solutions were launched: biological products for agriculture and biosurfactant-based treatments for oil and gas.
Locus was founded with a mission to develop scalable, sustainable fermentation capabilities. Early investments in R&D and intellectual property laid the groundwork for a broad portfolio of bio-based technologies across multiple industries.
