What Algebra Bio does

Algebra Bio (Australia) Pty Ltd is a privately held bioscience company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Balmain (Sydney), New South Wales, with a sister entity in Hong Kong serving as its Asia-Pacific regional hub. The company sources, supplies, and distributes a comprehensive portfolio of natural feed additives and specialty nutritional ingredients across eight product categories — yeast products, mycotoxin binders, essential oils, vegetable derivatives, organic acids, minerals, functional fibres, and specialties — for livestock, poultry, swine, ruminant, aquaculture, pet food, and human nutrition sectors. Proprietary and patented products include Xpel (a Melosirata Fossilized Algae-derived mycotoxin binder from Queensland, Australia, validated independently by SGS India and LAMIC Brazil), AT-PRO DF (a patented paraformic acid developed with Numega Nutrition), and high-concentration yeast beta-glucan formulations X-MOS and GLUCAN-X.

The business generates revenue through two streams: one-time product sales of feed additives distributed via a channel-partner model across Asia-Pacific markets (Australia, New Zealand, India, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia), and project-based professional services in applied animal nutrition consulting and co-product development for food and drink industry side-stream optimization. Country managers coordinate sales and technical support in key markets (Vietnam, Philippines), with local distribution partners — IMMEUREKA, Heal Ricch, APM, Promax International Corp, Centafarm — providing last-mile reach. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to contact Algebra Bio directly. The company's go-to-market relies heavily on industry events (APSS Conference, Vietstock, Poultry India, International Farmer Summit) and prestige industry forums hosted at its Cockatoo Island office in Sydney.

The operating model is that of a lean distribution-and-commercialization layer (1-10 employees) sitting between upstream ingredient technology providers and Asia-Pacific feed industry end-users. Recent strategic moves include the December 2025 launch of Bio-MetaFLO in India via a co-development partnership with Oriental Yeast (Japan) and Heal Ricch (India distributor), formal Vietnam market entry through Promax International Corp in February 2026, and expanded geographic presence across South and Southeast Asia. The company was founded by a group of industry specialists led by Managing Director James Charteris-Hough and Commercial Development Director Dr Lee Hock Hee (D.V.M.).
