Teknor Apex announces the acquisition of Danimer Scientific, a leading bioplastics company focused on the development and production of biodegradable materials. This strategic move brings together two industry pioneers. Headquartered in Bainbridge, Georgia, USA, Danimer operates two facilities with over 200,000 total square feet of world-class laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and testing space.
For more than a decade, Danimer’s renewable and sustainable biopolymers have helped create biodegradable and compostable plastic products. Applications for its biopolymers include additives, aqueous coatings, fibers, films, hot-melt adhesives, and injection-molded articles for single-use, everyday products such as straws, cutlery, and packaging. The company holds more than 480 granted patents and pending patent applications in more than 20 countries for a range of manufacturing processes and biopolymer formulations. This milestone marks the next chapter in their journey. Danimer will continue to operate as a separate, dedicated entity under their own name, team, and vision.
With this acquisition, Teknor Apex accelerates its momentum in delivering a diverse portfolio of sustainable solutions, including recycled content, bio-based materials, and climate-positive additives. This strategic move strengthens the company’s mission to create verifiably circular and renewable innovations that maintain the highest standards of quality, helping customers achieve their sustainability goals and shape the future with confidence.
