Case Studies

Cambrium produces NovaColl, a bio-identical human collagen for skin care, through precision fermentation. Cambrium set out to own its manufacturing economics on every route to scale. Roebling built its contract manufacturer's cost structure alongside Cambrium's greenfield option in one model, giving Cambrium a bottom-up view of both before it decides where to commit capital.

TurtleTree produces lactoferrin through precision fermentation. Roebling built an integrated techno-economic model of the process and used it to run TurtleTree's site selection, product and technology trade-offs, and buy-vs-build economics through to a fundable FEL-1 design basis, without switching tools or re-deriving the cost basis at each stage.

Helaina uses precision fermentation to make effera®, the world's first bio-identical human lactoferrin, now produced at metric-ton scale. Working with Roebling engineers, the Helaina team built a live, fully costed model of that production in their own workspace. Now they can test their scale-up options themselves instead of commissioning a study.
