Worldwide Leader

Specialty Enzymes and Biotechnologies is a worldwide leader in the production of nutraceutical, food, beverage and industrial enzymes. There are many marketing companies that sell enzymes, but only a very small number that actually manufacture enzymes. That is, companies that actually have facilities with fermentation tanks to produce enzymes. Specialty Enzymes is one of those companies.

In 1957, the company’s founder pioneered the production of papain, a proteolytic enzyme extracted from papaya fruit. Today, the son of Specialty Enzymes’ founder, Vic Rathi, continues to advance the many uses of enzymes for health and industry. Rathi, an enzymologist with more than 35 years of experience, continues to innovate and pursue enzyme solutions that not only aid health, but many industrial applications as well. Currently, Specialty Enzymes offers more than 400 unique, natural enzymes and enzyme blends for more than 25 industries and 40 countries worldwide. In the last decade, Specialty Enzymes has added probiotics to its line of products. This further expands the range of supplements available for a natural approach to health.

Specialty Enzymes prides itself as one of the few manufacturers in the world that produces a full-spectrum of enzymes derived from all four natural origins: plant, fungal, bacterial and animal. The company’s state-of-the-art ISO 22000:2005 certified manufacturing facilities utilize the most advanced solid state and submerged fermentation technologies available. Specialty Enzymes offers full production capacity, which allows for the timely delivery of products to its clients around the globe.

Specialty Enzymes has recently introduced advanced enzyme blends to aid with specialized digestive issues like dairy and gluten intolerance as well as general intestinal health. The company is a major manufacturer of cutting-edge enzymes such as Peptizyme SP (serrapeptase), NattoSEB (nattokinase) and Chitosanase. Because Specialty Enzymes is the actual manufacturer, the company can offer custom enzyme formulas that meet the specific needs of our many customers. At Specialty Enzymes the goal is to continue paving the way for technological advances and applications of enzymes and probiotics that improve the quality of life.

Specialty Enzymes is a family owned business that is part of Advanced Enzymes USA. This is a vertically integrated group of companies manufacturing nutraceutical, food, beverage and industrial enzymes worldwide. Enzymes are vital to all life forms, most importantly—humans. It is with this conviction that the company stands dedicated to educating and providing the most effective enzymes on the market. Specialty Enzymes is dedicated to the goal of developing and manufacturing cutting edge, efficacious and all-natural enzyme solutions with the highest quality and activity. Rathi oversees operations for all divisions of SEB, including Specialty Enzymes, which is responsible for all industries in the Western Hemisphere. Company Vice President, Mike Smith, is directly involved in every aspect of the business heading up sales, marketing and technical support. Specialty Enzymes’ laboratory manager, Inmar Munir, PhD oversees all the QA/QC laboratory functions, GMP (good manufacturing practice) compliance and application research relating to every industry at the company.

While the nutrition industry is a very important part of the company’s business, Specialty Enzymes is also committed to providing eco-friendly solutions to many other industries including animal health, fruit juice production, renewable energy, waste management, textiles and many more. Since enzyme use is very technical, it is essential that the company has the right personnel to provide technical support for the many different industries it serves. This value added service is a large part of the continued success Specialty Enzymes has enjoyed over the last two decades in particular.
