Specialty producer Pivot Bio, Berkeley, Calif., reports the recent completion of a major expansion of its Berkeley lab and offices to support its accelerated growth plans, advance the company’s science, and deliver its nitrogen-producing microbial products to U.S. farmers faster. MAI Construction, San Jose, Calif., served as the general contractor.
“With the technical expertise of our partners at MAI, we created a best-in-class facility that will put Pivot Bio at the forefront of a growing bio economy,” said Karsten Temme, Ph.D., Pivot Bio CEO and co-founder. “The renovated and expanded space supports our team to do their best work in the best possible environment as we strive to develop regenerative agriculture solutions to help farmers and improve the health of our planet.”
Pivot Bio said since 2019 it has expanded its footprint by opening an added high-quality greenhouse space in Hayward, Calif., an office and product development lab at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis, Mo., and a sales office in the Iowa State University Research Park, Ames, Iowa.
