C3 BIOTECHNOLOGIES

C3 Biotechnologies Ltd was established in August 2015 to commercialise the manufacture of bio-propane from cutting edge research developed at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology based at the University of Manchester. In 2016 we expanded our portfolio to develop proprietary microbial strains to make high-value chemicals with large addressable markets, especially in the flavours and fragrances industry. The company is spearheaded by Professor Nigel Scrutton, Director of the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology based at The University of Manchester, and Mr Michael Smith, Director of PressureTech Transport Services Ltd, a specialist regional supplier of LPG (liquid petroleum gas).
