OUR MISSION

MicroSynergies provides the world’s most diverse portfolio of commercially available microbes and we use our passion and expertise to create microbial synergies with all forms of life.

MicroSynergies is a microbial biotechnology company specializing in the procurement, formulation, scientific research, import, export, and blending and packaging of beneficial organisms.

Our manufacturing facility and headquarters is based near Milwaukee, Wisconsin– the “Silicon Valley of microbes”– with partner sites in Ecuador and Mexico.

Our products and solutions have been developed for multiple business areas including: direct-fed microbials for livestock, probiotics for companion animals, silage inoculants, environmental remediation, plant health, aquaculture, and bioenergy.

Our History

MicroSynergies was founded in 2007 by Roy Glocke, who held high-level roles at companies such as Chr. Hansen and Lallemand.

We began as a manufacturers’ representative company– and after Brad Glocke took over the company, we transitioned into a biological products manufacturing company.

In 2022, MicroSynergies moved into our new headquarters and brought on individual partners, who have the industry and business expertise to take the company to the next level.
