About Us:

Holiferm is a biotechnology company that develops sustainable and eco-friendly processes for manufacturing chemicals. We are based in the Northwest of England with a research and development laboratory in Manchester, a pilot plant in Daresbury and a commercial plant on the Wirral, Liverpool. We developed our first process using our patented fermentation with gravity separation technology, which we use to produce sophorolipids, and have already taken this from R&D to commercial scale.

Our commercial plant produces our products at kilotonne scale for our global customers from local, independent companies to multinationals. We are actively working on other processes to manufacture a range of molecules in order to diversify our portfolio, including rhamnolipids and MELs which will be introduced to the market in 2024. This will move us closer to our mission of removing the need to use petrochemicals in the production process and allowing our customers to create 100% biobased formulations.

Due to our exciting growth plans, we are looking to recruit several Plant Operators to produce these biosurfactants.
