KÄÄPÄ Biotech grows as a European functional mushroom extract supplier
The Finnish biotechnology company has expanded its production of functional mushroom extracts and Nordic mushroom ingredients for the supplements and nutraceutical industries.
KÄÄPÄ Biotech has grown from a Finnish startup into an established European mushroom extract supplier, producing high-quality liquid and powder extracts for businesses in the supplements and nutraceutical sectors.
The company specialises in functional mushroom extracts, working with species including Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Reishi and other Nordic mushrooms. Its focus is on developing consistent mushroom ingredients for companies looking to incorporate functional mushrooms into their own products.
At the time of the original NutraIngredients interview, KÄÄPÄ Biotech was described as one of the leading medicinal mushroom extract producers outside Asia. The company’s development reflected the growing European interest in functional mushrooms and professionally produced mushroom extracts.
KÄÄPÄ Biotech combines biotechnology, mushroom cultivation and extraction expertise to support B2B customers developing supplements and other mushroom-based products. Its work focuses on ingredient quality, transparency and scalable production for the international market.
CEO Eric Puro discussed KÄÄPÄ Biotech’s development, the company’s approach to mushroom production and the growing functional mushroom industry in an interview with NutraIngredients.
