Microbial Discovery Group Continues Growth into New Facility
The Bacillus Fermentation Company Expands Capacity for Microbial Growth and Scale-Up
FRANKLIN, Wis., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Microbial Discovery Group (MDG), an R&D-driven product development, scale-up, and large-scale Bacillus fermentation company, continues construction of its new production facility in southeastern Wisconsin.
Since its establishment in 2007, MDG has demonstrated significant growth, positioning itself at the forefront of developing and commercializing microbial solutions for the animal health, agriculture, bioremediation, industrial and institutional, wastewater treatment, and human health markets. In addition to MDG's other two facilities in Oak Creek and Franklin, MDG will be opening a new 117,000-square-foot facility located at 3303 W. Oakwood Road in Franklin. The second Franklin location will create 46 new full-time jobs. MDG will be investing over $30 million into the facility over the next three years.
"With the rapid evolution of biotech solutions to solve modern-day problems, there is a growing need for fermentation and drying capabilities of larger capacities," says Mike King, CEO of MDG. "We are thrilled to be an integral part of helping our clients and scientists provide natural solutions that make such a difference in the world."
MDG had great success partnering with the city of Franklin when building out their first facility. The partnership has continued to flourish with this expansion, as MDG worked closely with the city while considering the facility design and year-over-year growth. MDG plans for the facility to be operational by June 2025.
The expansion will provide MDG with the necessary space to increase its fermentation and lyophilization capacities while supporting the company's mission to Feed, Clean, Save the World. Once the expansion project is complete, MDG will have added roughly 20,000 liters of fermentation capacity, creating a total capacity of 55,000 liters across all three of their production locations. This will support the commercialization of MDG's proprietary products as well as those of their contract manufacturing clients.
