What Eurogentec does

Eurogentec (legal entity Kaneka Eurogentec S.A.) is a Belgian life science manufacturing company headquartered in Seraing, Belgium, founded in 1985 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japan's Kaneka Corporation since 2006. The company runs GMP-accredited and FDA-inspected production facilities exceeding 10,000 m², supplying catalog and custom nucleic acid reagents, peptides, antibodies, recombinant proteins, qPCR kits, and CDMO services spanning therapeutic oligonucleotides, GMP IVT-mRNA (up to 50g per batch, equivalent to 100,000s to millions of doses), plasmid DNA, and VHH antibody fragments at kilogram scale.

Its technology stack centers on proprietary oligonucleotide synthesis with extensive modification capability (ASO, siRNA, NGS oligos, aptamers), an in-house rapid VHH/nanobody manufacturing platform from camelid immunization through GMP production, large-scale IVT mRNA synthesis and purification, and a portfolio of IP-free ATTO dyes for qPCR and dPCR probe applications. The offering combines high-purity catalog products (over 1,000 catalog peptides, Takyon® qPCR kits, MapMarker® ladders) with quote-based custom synthesis and multi-year contract manufacturing for clinical and commercial human therapeutics.

Eurogentec generates revenue across five streams: catalog and custom oligonucleotide product sales, GMP CDMO services for pharma and biotech clients, custom antibody and VHH production, custom peptide synthesis, and reagents/assay kits. Pricing is unit-based for catalog research products and quote-based for custom synthesis and GMP manufacturing, with multi-year contracting common for CDMO and OEM kit engagements. Customers are segmented across pharmaceutical/biotech (primary), diagnostics (primary), and academic/research institutions, served globally from Belgium via direct field sales for BLA-grade contracts and e-commerce for research-grade consumables, supplemented by a regional distributor network.
