Your Benefits From Working With Us
trenzyme’s History
Dr. Reinhold Horlacher, Founder, Managing Director & CSO
Reinhold holds a PhD in biology from the University of Konstanz (1996).
After his postdoctoral research in Konstanz and Boston, he was supported by the “Young Innovators” grant from the federal state of Baden-Württemberg (1998 – 2000). During this period at the University of Konstanz, he developed and refined a method for the enzyme based in-vitro synthesis of the disaccharide trehalose. Reinhold founded the company trenzyme in 2000 – the company name is still a reminiscence of this first activity.
Until today, he acts as the managing director and CSO of trenzyme and is always highly motivated to find the ideal solution for the individual requirements of trenzyme’s clients.
