Darmstadt, Germany – AB Enzymes is delighted to announce the signing of a rental contract for our future global headquarters at KALA | Central Campus Darmstadt. This strategic relocation marks a significant milestone in our growth journey, providing a modern and scalable environment to support our ambitious expansion plans.

The new headquarters will span over 7,300 m² of customised laboratory and office space, constituting more than 70% of the main building at the new location, with a long-term green lease agreement extending for the next 20 years. It will serve as a vibrant new home for all Germany-based employees, providing an environment that addresses the limitations of our current facilities in Darmstadt and allows for the anticipated growth outlined in our strategic plan.

The new headquarters will significantly increase our laboratory space, meeting both current demands and future expansion requirements. By optimising the ratio of laboratory to office space, we ensure that our teams have the best possible environment to continue their innovative work.

“The move to KALA | Central Campus Darmstadt represents a strategic investment in our future,” said Martin Nielsen, CEO of AB Enzymes. “This new headquarter will not only support our immediate growth but also provide a scalable platform for long-term expansion. The state-of-the-art facilities and modern infrastructure will align perfectly with our commitment to innovation and sustainability.”

The new facility, which is set to be ready for occupancy by the third quarter of 2026, will be extensively renovated and tailored to our needs by ALÌTUS Capital Partners GmbH. ALÌTUS is committed to achieving high standards of sustainability and operational efficiency, aligning perfectly with AB Enzymes’ dedication to eco-friendly practices and innovation.
